Uses of Razo Easy 20 MG Sachet
What is it prescribed for?
Erosive Esophagitis
Esophagitis is the swelling of the oesophagus, the muscular tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach. It occurs when excess acid produced in the stomach flow back into the oesophagus. It can also be caused due to an infection or irritation in the oesophagus. All these reasons can irritate and damage the lining of the oesophagus, resulting in a condition called erosive oesophagitis. Razo Easy 20 MG Sachet is used to treat erosive esophagitis by decreasing stomach acid production.
Gastroesophagal Reflux Disease
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is an acid reflux disease that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the oesophagus or food pipe. Heartburn and acid indigestion are the main symptoms of GERD. This condition can be managed with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications to an extent. But sometimes medications or surgery is needed to get relief. Razo Easy 20 MG Sachet helps in the treatment of GERD by decreasing stomach acid production.
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome is a condition in which tumours form in the pancreas (an organ located behind the stomach) and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). These tumours produce a hormone called gastrin which in turn causes excessive stomach acid. Razo Easy 20 MG Sachet is used to treat an excessive amount of acid produced in the stomach due to tumours.
Other forms of Ulcers
Razo Easy 20 MG Sachet is used to treat ulcers of the stomach (Gastric) and small intestine (Duodenal) caused due to increased stomach acid production. It is also used to prevent ulcers caused by stress.
