Uses of DOUDCER-NIL 30 Capsule 2x7s

What is it prescribed for?

• Peptic Ulcer

  A peptic ulcer is a sore or ulcer on the lining of your stomach or intestine. It occurs due to an infection caused by a type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori in the stomach.

DOUDCER-NIL 30 Capsule 2x7s is used in the treatment of peptic ulcer.

• Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome

  Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome is a condition in which tumours form in the pancreas (an organ located behind the stomach) and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). These tumours produce a hormone called gastrin which in turn causes excessive stomach acid.

• Acid related dyspepsia

  Dyspepsia is indigestion in your upper stomach causing pain, discomfort and burning sensation in the stomach and chest.

• Gastroesophagal Reflux Disease

  Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is an acid reflux disease that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the oesophagus or food pipe.

But sometimes medications or surgery is needed to get relief. DOUDCER-NIL 30 Capsule 2x7s helps in the treatment of GERD by decreasing stomach acid production.

• Helicobacter pylori Infection

  Helicobacter Pylori infection or H. Pylori infection is caused by a type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori that infect your stomach. H. Pylori grows inside the protective layer of the stomach lining and are less exposed to stomach acids. It is a very common infection and also the cause of gastritis (swelling of the lining of the stomach) and peptic ulcer disease. This infection can be transmitted from person to person, especially when an infected person does not wash their hands properly after a bowel movement. DOUDCER-NIL 30 Capsule 2x7s in combination with antibiotics are used to treat and prevent Helicobacter Pylori infection.

All these reasons can irritate and damage the lining of the oesophagus, resulting in a condition called erosive oesophagitis. DOUDCER-NIL 30 Capsule 2x7s is used to treat erosive esophagitis by decreasing stomach acid production.

• NSAID-Induced Gastric Ulcer

  Gastric ulcers are sores that form in the lining of the stomach. The stomach produces acid to help with the digestion of food and also to kill germs. To get protected from acid damage, the cells of the stomach make a protective mucus layer. The excess acid produced in the stomach damage the protective layer of the stomach. A swelling that occurs on the lining of the stomach due to the use of Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is called NSAID-Induced Gastric Ulcer. DOUDCER-NIL 30 Capsule 2x7s is used for the treatment of gastric ulcers associated with the prolonged use of NSAIDs.

• Duodenal Ulcer

  Duodenal ulcers are open sores that form in the lining of the duodenum (the beginning of the small intestine). The food travels to the duodenum straight after it leaves your stomach. This ulcer occurs when excess acid produced in the stomach damage the protective layer of the duodenum. It can also be caused due to an infection or irritation. DOUDCER-NIL 30 Capsule 2x7s is used to treat bleeding or erosions that occur due to duodenal ulcers.

• Active benign gastric ulcer

  Gastric ulcers are sores that form in the lining of the stomach. This occurs when excess acid produced in the stomach damage the protective layer of the stomach.
