1. Uses of the drug Martaz

Martaz is a drug prescribed by a doctor. As a result, many patients will not know about this drug, due to its limited availability and prescription. When the patient falls into one of the following cases, he or she will be treated by a doctor using Martaz:
The patient needs to treat gastroesophageal reflux or gastric ulcer. The main ingredient rabeprazole in the drug Martaz has the ability to treat wounds caused by stomach ulcers in 1-2 months. This time the drug penetrates the body and helps heal the ulcer, while limiting the signs of gastric reflux to help the ulcer reduce the risk of re-infection. Most patients will use 1-2 months to reduce inflammation and recover well. Gastroesophageal reflux disease causes ulcers that lead to peptic ulcers. Repeated ulcers are erosive and jeopardize the function of the stomach and adjacent organs. When using Martaz, the body will reduce heartburn and heartburn so that stomach acid will not continue to attack and erode more ulcers. The case studies are currently under 12 months, so more in-depth analysis is needed to determine the maximum effectiveness of Rabeprazole, a drug indicated for use with an antibiotic that kills Helicobacter pylori. When these two drugs are used in parallel, stomach ulcers will be overcome and difficult to recur after recovery. The antibiotics commonly used in combination are amoxicillin and clarithromycin. However, patients may be sensitive to the drug, so it should be based on the specific condition to prescribe. In some cases, patients develop resistance to clarithromycin or do not perform susceptibility testing to drugs, the doctor will consider changing the combination antibiotic to make sure. According to the medical indications, rabeprazole is the component indicated for prolonged treatment if the patient develops pathological hypersecretion.

2. Dosage and usage of the drug Martaz

Martaz is used both intramuscularly and orally. Although intramuscular injection is nearly twice as effective, Martaz 20 mg is commonly used in tablet form. Each tablet should be used intact. Studies have analyzed and indicated that users absolutely do not chew, crush or break the drug to use. When the film-coated tablet enters the intestine, the film-coated tablet dissolves and allows Rabeprazole to enter the intestine. When taking the drug, you can take it with or without food.
Dosage and dosage will be considered according to the medical condition. If the patient is suffering from reflux esophagitis, which causes acid to erode, causing ulcers, the dose should be used once a day and maintained for 1-2 months. After 2 months of use, if there is no reduction, the doctor will ask for another 2 months and monitor the change.
After recovering from reflux disease or stomach ulcer, you can still use 1 tablet / day to maintain if necessary. Medicines will help the recovery process go better. Since the condition is under control, the dose will last for 1 month. If it is not effective, it will be prescribed for another month to heal the ulcer.
The above doses are for reference only. When using, doctors will consider the actual patient's condition to prescribe. If used with antibiotics, the dose and duration of treatment will need to be adjusted. Therefore, do not arbitrarily use the drug without the guidance of the doctor to avoid unwanted side effects.
Currently, prescription drugs are less common in overdose. Besides, Rabeprazole overdose reactions do not currently have a specific solution to deal with. Therefore, the current treatment will be based on symptoms and monitor the patient's condition to make decisions. If you accidentally overdose, tell your doctor and quickly go to the hospital to check as soon as possible.
In case you miss the prescribed dose, you need to take it again as soon as possible. If you forget to take the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not increase the dose to make up for the missed dose.

3. Notes during the use of the drug Martaz 20

Martaz medicine can cause allergies if the patient's body is sensitive to the ingredient Rabeprazole. If it is determined that the patient is allergic, it should be changed to another drug used to avoid allergies. If the patient has a malignant tumor in the stomach, drugs will not help eliminate that tumor.
When using the drug, you will have signs of dizziness or drowsiness, so it should be noted if the job requires high alertness. Although there are no contraindications of the drug for pregnant and lactating women, this object should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
If breastfeeding, you should pay attention when using the drug. Rabeprazole can be passed to a baby through breast milk. When the mother needs to use the medicine, the doctor will ask to stop breastfeeding to prevent the baby from accidentally absorbing the drug into the body. While taking the drug, Rabeprazole will inhibit the ability to secrete gastric juice. This effect is not stable for all subjects. Therefore, if using drugs, doctors need to pay attention to monitor the drug's progress and the effect of Rabeprazole on the body more.
If the patient is on long-term treatment with Rabeprazole-containing drugs, the risk of side effects increases. The body may experience chills and fatigue, followed by weakness and frequent aches and pains. Some patients will have high blood pressure, large fluctuations in the electrocardiogram, and increased contractions in the head and chest that affect the heart rate.
In addition, other organs such as the urinary system, skin, respiratory system, nervous system... are affected if the drug is used for too long. To detect and treat the doctor will give an index test. When the body parameters are abnormal, it is a sign that side effects have begun.
Martaz 20 mg can reduce inflammation and prevent gastroesophageal reflux. But because of its versatility, it is easy to cause dangerous side effects, so it should only be used as indicated. If you need to learn more about drugs, you should visit the hospital for specific advice from a doctor or pharmacist based on your specific medical condition.
