LOKOME 20 is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This helps in providing relief from various acid-related conditions, including:
- Heartburn
- Acid reflux (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease – GERD)
- Peptic ulcer disease
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
By lowering stomach acid levels, LOKOME 20 helps alleviate symptoms such as burning sensation, stomach pain, and discomfort, while also promoting the healing of ulcers in the stomach and intestines.
Before taking LOKOME 20, inform your doctor if you have or have had:
- Severe liver problems
- Allergic reactions to similar medicines (such as other proton pump inhibitors)
- Bone loss (osteoporosis), as long-term use may increase the risk of fractures
Other medicines may interact with LOKOME 20, affecting its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, especially if you are on treatment for:
- HIV
- Fungal infections
- Tuberculosis
- Epilepsy (fits)
- Blood-thinning medications
Additionally, pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine to ensure its safety.
