Dosage Directions For Altosec 20

Why is the package insert ABSOLUTELY SILENT on WHEN the Altosec 20 is to be taken?

Hello, Oubaas 74! How are you?

Because there is really no specific time of day that it must be taken, other than before a meal.

It is classified by the U.S. FDA as a proton pump inhibitor that helps reduce the amount of acid produced by your stomach to help treat or prevent conditions, such as heartburn, GERD, gastritis and ulcers. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain.

Is there anything else I can help with?

From:- Oubaas 74. Thank you for your reply, this is the 1st Time that anyone has told me to take "Altosec 20mg" BEFORE a meal. Please note that the package insert is SILENT on this advice!!! Since my Acid Reflux problem (???) is at night, which meal should I take the capsule BEFORE ?

I contacted "Aspen Pharmacare" the suppliers of the "Altosec 20" I am taking and groused about the lack of information on their package insert. The Pharmacist / Doctor I spoke to was surprised, but eventually suggested that I take the capsule ½ an hour before my evening meal. This I am doing and things seem to be working better!!!
