Razom 20mg Capsule is a medicine that reduces the amount of acid produced in your stomach, used in the treatment of acid-related diseases of the stomach and intestine such as heartburn, acid reflux, peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Razom 20mg Capsule is best taken one hour before a meal, preferably in the morning. The dose will depend on your underlying condition and how you respond to the medicine. You should keep on taking it as prescribed even if your symptoms disappear quickly. You can increase the efficiency of the treatment by eating smaller meals more often and avoiding caffeinated drinks (like tea and coffee) and spicy or fatty foods.
Razom 20mg Capsule is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach which provide relief from symptoms of heartburn, acid reflux, peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Can Razom 20mg Capsule be safely taken with domperidone?
Yes, this medicine can be taken with domperidone as no harmful effects have been reported clinically. In fact, a fixed-dose combination of these two medicines is also available. Domperidone works by increasing gut motility, while Razom 20mg Capsule decreases acid production in the stomach. This combination is effective for treating reflux esophagitis associated with acidity and heartburn, as well as intestinal and stomach ulcers.
What should I know before taking Razom 20mg Capsule?
You should not take it if you are taking a medicine containing atazanavir and nelfinavir (used for HIV infection). Inform your doctor about any liver problems, persistent diarrhea or vomiting, black stools, unusual weight loss, trouble swallowing, stomach pain, or indigestion. Additionally, tell your doctor about all other medicines you are taking as they may affect or be affected by this medicine. If you have had an allergic skin reaction with this medicine, inform your doctor. Do not give it to children under 1 year of age or those with a body weight less than 10 kgs. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before taking this medicine.

Take it for as long as advised by your doctor. The duration may vary depending on your condition. Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor.
Can Razom 20mg Capsule cause calcium deficiency and osteoporosis?
It can lead to osteoporosis (thinning of bones) due to decreased calcium absorption, resulting in calcium deficiency. This increases the risk of bone fractures on long-term use, such as hip, wrist, or spine fractures. If you have osteoporosis or are taking corticosteroids, inform your doctor before starting therapy. Your doctor may recommend calcium or vitamin D supplements to reduce the risk.
What are the long term side effects of Razom 20mg Capsule?
If used for more than three months, certain long-term side effects may occur. These include low magnesium levels in the blood, which can cause tiredness, confusion, dizziness, shakiness, or irregular heartbeat. If use is prolonged beyond a year, there's an increased risk of bone fractures (due to decreased calcium levels), stomach infections, and vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to anemia, causing fatigue, weakness, or paleness. Additionally, you may experience palpitations, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, indigestion, loss of appetite, flatulence, or nerve problems like numbness, tingling, and difficulty walking.
Does Razom 20mg Capsule cause vitamin deficiencies?
It may lead to vitamin B12 and vitamin C deficiency. Vitamin B12 requires an acidic environment for absorption from the stomach while this medicine decreases gastric acid secretion. You may need to take vitamin B12 supplements with it. The clinical significance of decreased vitamin C levels is not known, so vitamin C supplementation is not recommended.
Can Razom 20mg Capsule be used in cardiac patients?
