Lafaxid-10 Tablets Uses
(Newest replies first)

Updated

Dear Sir, I am using Lafaxid-10 tablets (Lafutidine). Can you advice me what is the purpose of this medication. I have heart burn and contacted a gastrology specialist. He recommended taking Sompraz. I took it for 2 months. Last week I saw the doctor for my heart burn as well as burning in my stomach. I took this medicine after I had an endoscopy and am wondering what kind of foods I should be eating. Also can I take another tablet if I'm still breastfeeding my son?

Lafutidine (INN) is a second generation histamine H2 receptor antagonist having multimodal mechanism of action and used to treat gastrointestinal disorders. It is marketed in South Korea, Japan and India.

Lafutidine is used to treat gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, as well as wounds in the lining of the stomach associated with acute gastritis and acute exacerbation of chronic gastritis.

Adverse events observed during clinical trials included constipation, diarrhea, drug rash, nausea, vomiting and dizziness.

Like other H2 receptor antagonists, lafutidine acts by preventing the secretion of gastric acid. It also activates calcitonin gene-related peptide, resulting in the stimulation of nitric oxide (NO) and regulation of gastric mucosal blood flow, increases somatostatin levels also resulting in less gastric acid secretion, causes the stomach lining to generate more mucin, inhibits neutrophil activation thus preventing injury from inflammation, and blocks the attachment of Helicobacter pylori to gastric cells.

It is marketed in Japan as Stogar by UCB and in India as Lafaxid by Zuventus Healthcare. It is also marketed in South Korea as Ildong Lafutidine by Ildong Pharmaceutical Co Ltd.

Hi! I have been advised by my doctor to take Lafaxid10 20 minutes before dinner for 10 days which I did. after some time the chest pain comes back again so I was asked to take Rantac MPS 2 teaspoons after lunch & dinner. Again the same problem. Please Advise. Thanks. Any side effects if I take for a longer period as prescribed?
