Description
Indications
This medication is effective in treating various symptoms caused by excessive stomach acid, including stomach upset, heartburn, and acid indigestion. It also provides relief from excess gas-related discomfort, such as bloating, belching, and feelings of pressure in the stomach or gut.
Simethicone, one of the components, aids in breaking up gas bubbles in the gut.
Aluminum and magnesium antacids act swiftly to reduce stomach acid levels. This medication targets existing acid in the stomach and doesn’t prevent acid production. It can be used alone or in combination with other medications that lower acid production, such as H2 blockers.
Uses and Dosage
To use this medication effectively, take it orally after meals and at bedtime as needed. Make sure to follow all the instructions provided in the product package or as directed by your doctor.
For chewable tablets, thoroughly chew them before swallowing, and then drink a full glass of water (8 ounces or 240 milliliters).
If you are using the liquid form, shake the bottle well before each dose. Carefully measure the dose using a medication spoon or cup; avoid using a household spoon to ensure accurate dosing. Refrigerating the suspension may enhance the flavor, but never freeze it. For optimal results, take the liquid form without other fluids. You may mix your dose with a small amount of water if necessary.
Keep in mind that this product may interact with other medications, such as digoxin, iron, pazopanib, tetracycline antibiotics, and quinolone antibiotics like ciprofloxacin, potentially hindering their absorption in your body. Discuss with your doctor or pharmacist how to schedule your medications to avoid this issue.
If your acid-related issues persist or worsen after using this product for a week, or if you suspect a serious medical problem, seek immediate medical assistance.
If you are using this medication regularly for over two weeks, it’s possible that you may have a medical condition requiring different treatment. Consult your doctor to determine if this medication is suitable for your needs.
