Uses of Deltone Capsule

What is it prescribed for?

• Erosive Esophagitis

Esophagitis is the swelling of the oesophagus, the muscular tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach. It occurs when excess acid produced in the stomach flow back into the oesophagus. It can also be caused due to an infection or irritation in the oesophagus. All these reasons can irritate and damage the lining of the oesophagus, resulting in a condition called erosive oesophagitis. Deltone Capsule is used for healing erosive esophagitis by decreasing stomach acid production. It is used in patients 12 years of age and above for up to 8 weeks for complete relief.

• Gastroesophageal 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. Heartburn and acid indigestion are the main symptoms of GERD. This condition can be managed with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications to an extent. But sometimes medications or surgery is needed to get relief. Deltone Capsule is used in the treatment of heartburn associated with non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease, a condition where acid from the stomach and bile irritates the food pipe.

• Maintenance of Healed Erosive Esophagitis and Relief of Heartburn

Deltone Capsule is used to maintain healing of erosive esophagitis (EE) and relieve heartburn for up to 6 months in adults and 16 weeks in patients 12-17 years of age.
