Albitidine Tablet

Adult dose

Adults Generally taken orally, 2 tablets, twice a day regardless of meals, in the morning and before bedtime. 1) Gastric and duodenal ulcers Administer 2 tablets twice a day or 4 tablets once a day before bedtime. In particular, administering 4 tablets twice a day in the morning and before bedtime can yield a higher treatment rate for patients with duodenal ulcers. For ulcers caused by the administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or for long-term administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent the occurrence of gastric and duodenal ulcers, the dosage remains the same. Typically, diseases caused by administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs heal within 8 weeks, but the healing period may be prolonged depending on the patient. For patients with recurrent ulcers who responded well to short-term therapy with this drug, use 2 tablets once a day before bedtime for maintenance therapy. 2) Gastroesophageal reflux disease Administer 2 tablets twice a day for 8 weeks, or administer 4 tablets once a day before bedtime. In cases of severe gastroesophageal reflux disease, up to 4 tablets can be administered four times a day. 3) Zollinger-Ellison syndrome Start treatment with an initial dose of 2 tablets three times a day and can be increased as needed. In severe cases, under medical advice, the daily dosage of ranitidine can be increased up to 6 g. 4) Peptic ulcers, acute stress ulcers, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by acute mucosal lesions When oral administration is possible, switch from injection to oral administration of 2 tablets twice a day. 5) Pre-anesthetic medication (prevention of Mendelson's syndrome) Administer 2 tablets 2 hours before anesthesia induction. In this case, it is beneficial to administer 2 tablets the night before surgery.

This drug should not be used in patients undergoing dialysis or those with kidney function issues. It is also contraindicated in patients with a history of allergic reactions to this drug or its components, acute porphyria, those who have undergone upper gastrointestinal surgery, pregnant women or those who could become pregnant, premature infants and newborns, as well as patients on potassium-restricted diets. Patients with liver function issues, those with a history of drug allergic reactions, elderly patients, and those with a history of kidney dysfunction should use this medication cautiously. If taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs together, regular monitoring is required, especially for elderly patients or those with a history of peptic ulcers. This drug can mask symptoms of gastric cancer, so gastric ulcer patients or middle-aged patients experiencing new dyspeptic symptoms should be evaluated for malignancies before use. Patients with gastric or duodenal ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori require eradication therapy. Patients in severe ICU conditions, those with hypophosphatemia, and those with swallowing difficulties also need to be cautious. While taking this drug, very rarely, serious allergic reactions such as anaphylactic shock may occur. If symptoms arise, treatment should be immediately discontinued, and medical attention must be sought. Allergic symptoms such as skin rash, hives, angioedema, fever, bronchospasm, hypotension, and chest pain may also occur. Blood-related abnormalities, although rare, may include leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and bone marrow suppression, and immediate medical attention is needed if symptoms appear. Liver function impairment symptoms may also occur rarely, so if jaundice or hepatitis symptoms appear, use should be discontinued. Cardiac rhythm abnormalities, gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, etc.), dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and seizures have been reported, so any unusual symptoms should be discussed with a doctor. Long-term use should be avoided, and it is important to use the minimum effective dose while closely monitoring the treatment course. Elderly patients or those with chronic lung disease, diabetes, or weakened immunity are at increased risk for pneumonia, so they should be cautious. If dizziness or drowsiness occurs while taking this drug, avoid driving or operating dangerous machinery. This drug can interact with other medications, so if you are taking other drugs, you must inform your doctor or pharmacist. Caution is needed when taking this with certain anticoagulants, antibiotics, anticonvulsants, etc., and it is advisable to space out the administration of concurrent medications. It is safer for pregnant or nursing women not to use this drug, and it is also advisable not to use it in children since safety and efficacy have not been established. This drug may influence some clinical test results, so it is necessary to inform healthcare providers about its use when undergoing tests. In cases of overdose, emergency treatment such as vomiting or gastric lavage may be required, and blood dialysis may be necessary in some cases. Finally, this drug reduces gastric acid secretion, which can promote bacterial growth in the stomach, so ophthalmologic examination may be necessary with prolonged use.
