Product introduction

Gascool O 4mg/20mg Tablet can be taken with or without food. How much you need, and how often you take it, will depend on what you are being treated for. Follow the advice of your doctor. You should keep taking it regularly to prevent problems from happening in the future. You may be able to help improve your symptoms by eating smaller meals more often and avoiding spicy or fatty foods.

Most people who take it do not have any side effects, but the most common include headache, constipation and diarrhea. If you do get a side effect, it is usually mild and will go away when you stop taking this medicine or as you adjust to it. Consult your doctor if any of these side effects bother you or do not go away. 

Before taking it, you should tell your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems. This may affect the dose or suitability of this medicine. Also, tell your doctor what other medicines you are taking as some may affect, or be affected by, this medicine.  Avoid drinking alcohol as this can increase the amount of acid in your stomach and make your symptoms worse.  If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask advice from your doctor.

Uses of Gascool O Tablet

Benefits of Gascool O Tablet

Nausea
Gascool O 4mg/20mg Tablet blocks the action of chemicals in the body that can make you feel or be sick. This medicine helps you feel better and at ease. It is given as an injection by a doctor and you should follow the doctor’s instructions carefully to get the most benefit from this medicine.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic (long-term) condition which is like having heartburn consistently rather than just occasionally. It happens because a muscle above your stomach relaxes too much and allows stomach contents to come back up into your esophagus and mouth. Gascool O 4mg/20mg Tablet reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes and relieves the pain associated with heartburn and acid reflux. You should take it exactly as it is prescribed for it to be effective.

Some simple lifestyle changes can help reduce the symptoms of GERD. Think about what foods trigger heartburn and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight and try to find ways to relax. Do not eat within 3-4 hours of going to bed.
Peptic ulcer disease
Peptic ulcer disease is a condition in which painful sores or ulcers develop in the inner lining of the stomach or gut (intestine). Gascool O 4mg/20mg Tablet reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes which prevents further damage to the ulcer as it heals naturally. You may be given other medicines along with this medicine depending on what caused the ulcer. You need to keep taking the medicine as it is prescribed for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.

How Gascool O Tablet works

Gascool O 4mg/20mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Ondansetron and Rabeprazole. Ondansetron is an antiemetic medication. It works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger (serotonin) in the brain that may cause nausea and vomiting. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) which works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach which helps in the relief of acid-related indigestion and heartburn.

  • Gascool O 4mg/20mg Tablet is used to give relief from nausea, vomiting as well as acidity, heartburn and other discomfort associated with acid reflux and peptic ulcer disease.
  • It is advisable to take your doses about half an hour before meals.
  • If you vomit within one hour of taking a dose, take another dose.
  • Avoid taking soft drinks, citrus fruits like orange and lemon, which can irritate the stomach and increase acid secretion.
  • Incorporate the following lifestyle changes in order to prevent acidity:
    1. Make sure you eat regular meals and drink plenty of water.
    2. Avoid spicy and fatty fried food.
    3. Lose weight if you are obese.
    4. If you are a smoker, consider giving up.
    5. Don't drink too much alcohol.
    6. Do not go to bed immediately after taking a meal. Sit in a relaxed position for sometimes for better digestion.
