How Can I Stop Prescribed Medicine As Causing Uneasiness?
I am 36 years old and for past 7 weeks I am taking lanzol 30 for acidity prescribed by my doctor. Now I am almost done with the course. But the day i do not take lanzol 30mg I feel pain in the stomach and a lot of uneasiness. How can I stop this medicine?

Hello,
The pain is due to severe gastritis and acid reflux. You can gradually taper and stop the antacid like lanzole. Sudden stoppage of the pill might result in a rebound increase in acid secretion and symptoms will reappear. Avoid spicy foods and alcohol.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
