Uses

Uses of Peristil 10mg Tablet

In 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 oesophagus and mouth
Peristil 10mg 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.
