Benefits of Ribvax OX Tablet
In Nausea
Ribvax OX 4mg/20mg Tablet blocks the action of chemicals in the body that can make you feel or be sick. This medicine helps you feel better and at ease. It is given as an injection by a doctor and you should follow the doctor’s instructions carefully to get the most benefit from this medicine.
In Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic (long-term) condition which is like having heartburn consistently rather than just occasionally. It happens because a muscle above your stomach relaxes too much and allows stomach contents to come back up into your esophagus and mouth. Ribvax OX 4mg/20mg Tablet reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes and relieves the pain associated with heartburn and acid reflux. You should take it exactly as it is prescribed for it to be effective.
Some simple lifestyle changes can help reduce the symptoms of GERD. Think about what foods trigger heartburn and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight and try to find ways to relax. Do not eat within 3-4 hours of going to bed.
