What ARFAM is used for
ARFAM is used to:
•
treat peptic ulcers (gastric and
duodenal ulcers)
•
treat reflux oesophagitis (reflux
disease)
•
treat a rare condition called
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
•
prevent duodenal ulcers and
reflux disease from coming back.
PEPTIC ULCERS:
ARFAM is used to heal peptic
ulcers. Depending on the position
of the ulcer it is called a gastric or
duodenal ulcer. A gastric ulcer
occurs in the stomach. A duodenal
ulcer occurs in the duodenum,
which is the tube leading out of
the stomach. These ulcers usually
cause pain and discomfort
(indigestion) which is felt between
the navel and the breast bone.
The pain may occur before or after
meals, or in the middle of the
night.
ARFAM is also used to help stop
duodenal ulcers from coming back.
REFLUX DISEASE:
ARFAM is used to treat reflux
oesophagitis, also called reflux
disease, and stop it from coming
back. This condition is caused by
the washing back, or reflux, of
food and acid from the stomach
into the food pipe, also called the
oesophagus. This causes a painful
burning sensation in the chest
rising up to the throat (heartburn),
and usually occurs after eating or
at night.
ZOLLINGER-ELLISON SYNDROME:
ARFAM is used to treat a rare
condition called Zollinger-Ellison
syndrome, where the stomach
produces very large amounts of
acid, much more than in ulcers and
reflux disease.
ARFAM belongs to a group of
medicines called histamine H2-
antagoni
