Is a single dose of Smopan sufficient?
No, a single dose may not be sufficient. However, with only a few doses of Smopan you may get relief with the symptoms. Smopan is usually needed only for a short term or upto 2 weeks for heartburn, indigestion, acid reflux. However, if need arises, such as for treating peptic ulcer disease and Zollinger Ellison syndrome (ZES), Smopan may be prescribed for a long term duration as well. Please consult your doctor if you do not feel better even after taking Smopan regularly for 2 weeks as prescribed.
