Directions for Use
Take only as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Usually one tablet once daily, swallowed whole with water, ideally about 30-60 minutes before a meal (often breakfast). Do not crush or chew it. Take it regularly for the number of days or weeks advised; for reflux, a full course works better than occasional use. If symptoms persist after the course, see your doctor.
See a doctor before use, or promptly during use, if you have difficulty or pain swallowing, unintended weight loss, black stools, vomiting blood, or persistent vomiting, as these need assessment. Long-term use is associated with low magnesium or vitamin B12 and a small effect on bone strength. Use the lowest effective course. Tell your doctor about liver problems and other medicines (such as clopidogrel, certain HIV or antifungal medicines). Use in pregnancy or breastfeeding only on advice. Store below 30°C.
