Roxatidine

Uses

Roxatidine is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer disease.

How it Works

How Roxatidine works: Roxatidine is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist. It functions by decreasing the acid produced in the stomach, which aids in relieving acid-related indigestion and heartburn.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Roxatidine include gastrointestinal disturbances, breast enlargement in males, hair loss, blood dyscrasias, pancreatic inflammation, sleep disturbances, restlessness, changes in pulse rate, low sexual desire, increased liver enzymes, decreased white blood cell count (lymphocytes), and low blood platelets.

Expert Advice

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

Frequently asked questions

While data on long-term use of Roxatidine is limited, it is considered relatively safe. Follow your doctor's advice regarding duration of use, and do not use over-the-counter Roxatidine for more than 2 weeks without medical guidance.
Roxatidine generally begins to work within one hour, with maximum effects occurring within one to three hours, depending on the dose. Its effects last about 10 to 12 hours.
Roxatidine can be taken with or without food. It is recommended to take it once daily before bedtime or twice daily in the morning and before bedtime.
Roxatidine is a histamine H2 antagonist, while Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor. Both medications reduce stomach acid production to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.
Serious side effects of Roxatidine, though rare, may include hives, skin rash, itching, hoarseness, difficulty breathing or swallowing, and swelling of the face, throat, tongue, lips, eyes, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs. Consult your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.
Alcohol does not affect the efficacy of Roxatidine; however, it is advisable to avoid alcohol as it can harm the stomach and hinder recovery.
Avoid aspirin and other painkillers that may irritate the stomach, as well as coffee, tea, cocoa, and cola drinks. Opt for smaller, more frequent meals, eat slowly, and consider reducing or quitting smoking.
