How it works:
Faq for medicine:
A: Duabit can be used for different durations depending on the condition. It is used in adults for 4 weeks to treat heartburn related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in which acid from stomach enters food pipe (esophagus). It is used for 8 weeks to heal acid-related damage to the food pipe (called reflux esophagitis or RE) and for up to 6 months to continue healing of erosive esophagitis.
Q: How does Duabit work for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease?
A: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) happens when high acid secretion in your stomach enters your food pipe (esophagus) and causes a burning feeling in chest (heartburn) or throat, sour taste or burping. Duabit acts by decreasing the acid produced in the stomach and relieves the symptoms of GERD.
Q: Are there any withdrawal symptoms associated with the use of Duabit?
A: There are no withdrawal symptoms seen when you stop using Duabit as it has no addiction potential.
Q: Is Duabit available over the counter?
A: No, Duabit is not an over-the-counter product. It is a prescription medicine and is available only when prescribed by a physician.
Q: Does long term use of Duabit can increase the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures?
A: Duabit can cause calcium deficiency and hence an increased risk of bone fractures on long term use. Normally the acid in the stomach helps in the release of ionized calcium which is important for calcium absorption. As Dexlansoprazole decreases the stomach acid, it also decreases calcium absorption and an increases the risk of bone fractures.

Get your magnesium levels checked at regular intervals.Tell your doctor if you experience seizures, dizziness, abnormal or fast heartbeat, jitteriness, jerking movements or shaking (tremors), muscle weakness, spasms of the hands and feet, cramps, muscle aches or spasm of the voice box.
Q: Can I take Duabit with clopidogrel?
A: Duabit can be safely taken with clopidogrel. No clinically important changes in the action of clopidogrel have been seen when Duabit and clopidogrel are used together.
Q: Is Duabit a narcotic?
A: Duabit is not a narcotic. It is a proton pump inhibitor used for the treatment of acidity, heartburn, intestinal ulcers and stomach ulcers.
