Finix 20mg

Finix 20 mg Gastro-resistant Tablets are a highly effective treatment for a range of acid-related conditions in the stomach and esophagus. The active ingredient, Rabeprazole, is a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) that works by inhibiting the action of the gastric H+/K+-ATPase enzyme, also known as the proton pump. This targeted action reduces stomach acid production, providing relief from symptoms and facilitating healing of damaged tissues.

Indications

Finix is recommended for the management and treatment of:

• Active Duodenal Ulcers and Active Benign Gastric Ulcers: Promotes healing within 4-6 weeks.
• Erosive or Ulcerative Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Effective relief in 4-8 weeks.
• GERD Long-term Management: Maintains symptom control and prevents recurrence.
• Symptomatic GERD: Addresses moderate to severe acid reflux symptoms.
• Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: Controls excessive acid production.
• Helicobacter pylori Eradication: Used in combination therapy with antibiotics for peptic ulcer disease.

How It Works

Rabeprazole suppresses stomach acid secretion by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining. This action helps to:

• Relieve symptoms like heartburn and acid reflux.
• Heal and prevent ulcers in the stomach and duodenum.
• Protect against acid damage in the esophagus caused by GERD.
• Aid in the eradication of Helicobacter pylori, a common cause of peptic ulcers.

Dosage Guidelines

• Active Ulcers and GERD: 20 mg once daily in the morning, typically for 4-8 weeks.
• GERD Maintenance: 10 mg or 20 mg once daily based on patient response.
• Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: 60 mg daily, with adjustments based on clinical needs.
• H. pylori Eradication: 20 mg twice daily combined with antibiotics (clarithromycin and amoxicillin) for 7 days.
