If your doctor has not given you precise instructions, use the medicine according to the information in the leaflet, i.e. 1 sachet in the evening before bedtime; if necessary, an additional sachet can be taken during the day, after a meal. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/106855/alugastrin-3-forte-proszek-do-wytworzenia-plynu/ulotka/258136 Please remember that the effectiveness of many drugs is strictly dependent m.in on the specific time of their intake, adequate dose, as well as the fact whether they are taken on an empty stomach, during a meal or after eating. It is difficult to assess whether you should completely discontinue PPI drugs without knowing your medical records. Usually, the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, especially in people treated chronically, it is recommended to reduce the dose of PPIs by 50% every 2-4 weeks. according to the following scheme: standard dose of PPI 1 x dz. daily, then after 2 weeks. every other day, after another 2-4 weeks every third day, after which discontinue or use only on request.
