Uses of Aciloc 300 mg?

300 mg tablets of Aciloc are prescribed for the following conditions:

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: GERD is a severe disease where stomach acid or bile enters the esophagus and irritates its lining.

Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: In this condition, excess acid is produced due to tumors in the small intestine.

Gastric and Duodenal Ulcers: Gastric Ulcers develop in the stomach. Duodenal Ulcers are found in the small intestine.

Erosive Esophagitis: It is a severe form of GERD. In this disease, the esophagus is damaged due to the excess acid.

Aciloc can also treat Dyspepsia and hypersecretory disorders such as Systemic Mastocytosis and Multiple Endocrine Adenoma Syndrome.

How does the Aciloc tablet work?

Aciloc 300 belongs to the class of medicines known as H2 blockers.

Ranitidine, the active ingredient in Aciloc, inhibits the actions of Histamine on the Histamine H2 receptors found in the stomach-lining parietal cells.

Histamine is the chemical that induces stomach acid secretion by parietal cells.

Therefore, this medication prevents Histamine from exerting this effect, reducing gastric acid secretion.
