Description
PARIET is indicated for short-term (4 to 8 weeks) treatment in the healing and symptomatic relief of erosive or ulcerative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). For those patients who have not healed after 8 weeks of treatment, an additional 8-week course of PARIET may be considered. PARIET is indicated for maintaining healing and reduction in relapse rates of heartburn symptoms in patients with erosive or ulcerative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD maintenance).
Adults/elderly: Healing of Erosive or Ulcerative Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): The recommended oral dose for this condition is 20 mg to be taken once daily for four to eight weeks. Doses of 10 mg or 20 mg twice daily may be administered orally to reflux esophagitis patients for a further 8 weeks when proton pump inhibitor treatment is ineffective. However, a dose of 20 mg twice daily should only be administered to patients with severe mucosa injury.
Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease Long-term Management (GERD Maintenance): For long-term management, a maintenance dose of PARIET 20 mg or 10 mg once daily can be used depending upon patient response.
For the maintenance therapy of reflux esophagitis when proton pump inhibitor treatment is ineffective, dose of 10 mg twice daily may be administered orally.
