This medication is a category of pharmaceutical known as an acid blocker. It functions by reducing the quantity of acid in the digestive system, offering alleviation from dyspepsia and acid reflux triggered by surplus stomach acid. GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) is a persistent disorder in which you undergo constant acid reflux instead of intermittent unease. It happens when a muscle situated at the top of the digestive system relaxes excessively, permitting digestive contents to reflux back into the gullet and oral cavity.

Your doctor or nurse will show you the correct way of giving Protogut through the nasogastric (NG) tube. Open the Protogut capsule and empty the granules into a syringe. Mix the contents with apple juice in the syringe and attach it to the NG tube and give directly into the stomach. Once given, flush the NG tube with more apple juice to clear the tube.
You should preferably avoid foods that cause acidity and heartburn as they will only worsen your condition, for example: fried or spicy food, butter, oil, and juices, caffeinated drinks like cola or tea, drinks from citrus fruits like lemon water or orange juice and alcohol.
Protogut belongs to a class of medicines known as proton pump inhibitors. Protogut is used for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease (gastric and duodenal ulcers), reflux esophagitis or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It is also used to treat a disease associated with excessive acid production in the stomach known as Zollinger Ellison syndrome (ZES). It works by reducing the amount of acid made by your stomach.
Usually, Protogut is taken once a day, first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach. If you take Protogut twice a day, take 1 dose in the morning and 1 dose in the evening. The tablets should be swallowed whole (remember not be chewed or crushed) and taken at least 1 hour before a meal with some water.
