Hello,

You can take the ponstan with some omeprazole to help reduce acids in the stomach and protect the stomach. Also you can take ponstan after food and in a smaller dose if you add paracetamol with it.

If the headache lasts more then 10 days you will need to see a doctor to make sure all is well with the brain and no other important conditions is causing it.

I hope I have answered to your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
