Lafaxid (Lafutidine)

Lafaxid (Lafutidine)

Lafaxid (Lafutidine) contains lafutidine, a second-generation H2-receptor blocker used to treat acid-related stomach disorders such as acidity, gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and reflux symptoms. It reduces stomach acid secretion and provides rapid relief from burning, indigestion and upper abdominal pain.

Lafaxid offers longer duration of acid suppression than older H2 blockers and is often chosen when patients need reliable symptom control or cannot tolerate proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).

Product introduction

Lafutidine works by selectively blocking histamine-2 receptors in the stomach lining, which decreases acid secretion and protects the mucosal surface. It is commonly used in gastric hyperacidity, gastritis flare-ups, acid reflux episodes, functional dyspepsia and ulcer prevention.

Its protective action on gastric mucosa makes it useful where inflammation is present, and its rapid onset helps relieve acute acid symptoms.

Uses of Lafaxid (Lafutidine)

Lafaxid is prescribed for:

• Acidity / hyperacidity
• Acute and chronic gastritis
• Peptic ulcers (gastric & duodenal)
• Acid reflux (GERD)-related symptoms
• Dyspepsia, indigestion and upper abdominal discomfort
• Prevention of NSAID-induced gastric injury (as advised by physician)

Note: Always follow medical guidance if symptoms persist longer than 2 weeks, as persistent acidity may indicate an underlying condition.

Benefits of Lafaxid (Lafutidine)

• Fast relief: Reduces stomach acid quickly and improves heartburn or burning sensations.
• Mucosal protection: Promotes healing of irritated gastric lining.
• Useful in ulcers: Helps heal gastric and duodenal ulcers with regular use.

How Lafaxid works
