Lafutidine

Uses

Lafutidine is used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux) and peptic ulcer disease.

How it Works

How Lafutidine works Lafutidine blocks specific receptors (H2 receptors) on the lining of the stomach that stimulate acid production. It also increases the secretion of mucin in the stomach. In this way, Lafutidine decreases acid production and aids in the healing of ulcers in the stomach and small intestine. Additionally, it alleviates discomfort such as heartburn and provides relief from acid-related indigestion.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Lafutidine include headache, increased liver enzymes, constipation, elevated uric acid levels in the blood, diarrhea, breast enlargement in males, dizziness, nausea, hallucinations, vomiting, increased bilirubin in the blood, and decreased appetite.

Expert Advice

Take Lafutidine before going to bed if you are taking this medicine once a day.
It is very effective in controlling stomach acid released during sleep.
If you are also taking other medications to treat acidity (e.g., antacids), take them 2 hours before or after taking Lafutidine.
Avoid soft drinks and citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, as they can irritate the stomach and increase acid secretion.
Inform your doctor if you do not feel better after taking Lafutidine for 2 weeks, as you may be experiencing other issues.
Notify your doctor if you have ever been diagnosed with kidney disease, as the dose of your medication may need adjustment.
Do not stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
Lafutidine is well tolerated and considered safe, with a very low incidence of side effects.
You can take Lafutidine with or without food.
