Medication details

Description

Pyrocalm Control 20mg is a powerful medication developed to provide effective relief of symptoms associated with acid reflux symptoms (for example, heartburn, acid regurgitation). Reflux is the backflow of acid from the stomach into the gullet “foodpipe”, which may become inflamed and painful. Pyrocalm Control reduces the production of stomach acid to increase comfort and reduce reflux effectively.

Directions

For adults aged 18 and older, the recommended dosage of Pyrocalm Control 20mg Gastro-Resistant Tablets is one tablet daily. It's advisable to take the tablet at least one hour before a meal, usually in the morning. Swallow the tablet whole with water, and do not chew or crush it. It's important to follow the prescribed dosage and the instructions provided by your healthcare professional.

Ingredients

Each Pyrocalm Control 20mg Gastro-Resistant Tablet contains 20mg of esomeprazole as the active ingredient.

The tablet's other components include microcrystalline cellulose, glycerol monostearate, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, methacrylic acid-ethyl acrylate copolymer (30% dispersion), crospovidone, sodium stearyl fumarate, sugar spheres, talc, and triethyl citrate.

In rare cases, some individuals may experience more serious side effects such as severe allergic reactions, kidney problems, or low magnesium levels. If you notice any unusual symptoms or signs of a severe reaction, seek medical attention immediately.
