Zapacid 15 MG Capsule 10 is primarily used to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition where stomach acid frequently backs up into the food pipe. This medicine belongs to a group of medications known as proton pump inhibitors.

In addition to managing GERD, it is also used to deal with other acid-related disorders. These include peptic ulcer disease, which encompasses stomach and duodenal ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome - a condition where the stomach produces too much acid.

Before starting this medication, it's crucial to consult your doctor about the correct dosage and frequency for your specific condition. Be sure to inform your doctor about any pre-existing diseases or ongoing medication. If you notice any side effects while on this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. It's important to continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.
