Uses
Antacid and antiflatulent combination for the relief of heartburn, acid indigestion, upset stomach, and bloating associated with excess gas. Provides rapid neutralization of gastric acid.
Do not use if
Hypercalcemia, severe renal impairment, and hypersensitivity to any ingredient. Use with caution in patients on calcium-channel blockers or digoxin.
Side effects
Constipation or, less commonly, diarrhea may occur with regular use. Excessive calcium carbonate intake can lead to hypercalcemia or milk-alkali syndrome. Simethicone is generally without systemic adverse effects.
Warnings
Do not use for more than 2 weeks without medical supervision. Excessive use may cause acid rebound. Antacids may interfere with absorption of other medications; separate dosing by 2 hours.
How it works
Calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate neutralize gastric acid by a chemical acid-base reaction, raising intragastric pH and relieving acid-related symptoms. Simethicone is a surface-active agent that reduces gas bubble surface tension in the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating expulsion and relieving bloating.
Storage
Store at room temperature (below 30°C), away from moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
