Indication

YSP Shintamet is used for treating certain conditions that cause your body to make too much stomach acid (eg, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome). It is also used to treat ulcers of the small intestine that have not responded to other treatment. It may be used as a short-term alternative to oral ranitidine, in patients who are not able to take medicine by mouth. YSP Shintamet is an H₂-receptor blocker. It works by blocking the action of histamine in the stomach. This reduces the amount of acid the stomach makes. Reducing stomach acid helps to reduce heartburn, heal irritation of the esophagus, and heal ulcers of the stomach or intestines.

Instruction

Use YSP Shintamet as directed by your doctor.

• Do not take YSP Shintamet in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor.
• You may take antacids while you are using YSP Shintamet if you are directed to do so by your doctor.
• Continue to use YSP Shintamet even if you feel well. Do not miss any dose.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use YSP Shintamet.

Drug interaction

Antacids may decrease the absorption of YSP Shintamet, so their intake should be separated by 1-2 hours. Alcohol levels may increase if YSP Shintamet is taken simultaneously. This medication also increases the area under the plasma concentration time curve (AUC) and concentration of Metoprolol in blood serum, slows absorption of itraconazole and ketoconazole.
