Acicaine Syrup 200 ml

Acicaine Syrup is used in the treatment of acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and stomach upset. The detailed uses of Acicaine Syrup are as follows:

• Treatment of Gastric Discomfort: Acicaine Syrup eases gastric discomfort symptoms like bloating, indigestion, and heartburn by neutralising stomach acid and calming the digestive tract.
• Management of Ulcers: Acicaine Syrup aids in peptic ulcer management by creating a protective barrier over the ulcer, shielding it from stomach acid, and facilitating healing.
• Relief from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Acicaine Syrup relieves GERD symptoms by lowering stomach acid and shielding against acid reflux, offering relief to patients.
• Gastritis: Acicaine Syrup helps alleviate gastritis symptoms by soothing the stomach lining, reducing inflammation, and neutralising excess acid, providing relief from discomfort and pain.
• Adjunct to Antacids: Acicaine Syrup can be used in combination with other antacids to boost their effectiveness in managing excess stomach acid conditions, offering more thorough symptom relief.

• Acicaine Syrup belongs to the antacid group of medicines used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis, and stomach upset.
• It contains Aluminium hydroxide and Magnesium hydroxide, which work by neutralising excess stomach acid and providing quick relief from discomfort.
• It also contains Oxetacaine, a local anaesthetic that provides a numbing effect to relieve pain caused by ulcers or acid irritation in the stomach.
• Acicaine Syrup soothes the stomach lining, reduces burning sensation, and promotes digestive comfort.
