1. What Inside Brus is and what it is used for
Inside Brus is a histamine (H 2 ) receptor blocker and works by reducing the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Normally, gastric juice is very acidic and can cause heartburn and acid reflux when leaking up to the esophagus. An effervescent tablet reduces the production of stomach acid and can provide symptom relief after about 20 minutes. The antacid effect lasts up to 12 hours.
Inside Noise provides symptom relief in case of temporary heartburn and acid regurgitation.
Acid production can be stimulated by smoking, alcohol, spicy foods, and stress. Some medicines such as acetylsalicylic acid and other anti-inflammatory drugs for joint and muscle pain can also be the cause of heartburn and other stomach acid-related problems. Heartburn and acid reflux can also occur in stomach ulcers and in rare cases also in more serious diseases of the stomach or esophagus.
Heartburn and acid regurgitation can be caused by gastric juice penetrating the esophagus at bedtime or heavy lifting. An important measure that can provide relief in heartburn and acid reflux is to change their lifestyle. This can include: smoking less, avoiding coffee, alcohol, spicy foods, late evening meals, and heavy lifting. You should try to get a regular and stress-free lifestyle. Raising the head end during the night can also relieve the discomfort. Another measure may be treated with over-the-counter medication. If these measures do not help, you should consult a doctor. This is especially important if you have persistent or recurrent problems, difficulty swallowing, or if your doctor has told you that you have impaired kidney function.
Ranitidine contained in Inside Brus may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this leaflet. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.
