Antac 150mg Tablet is used in children to treat conditions like GERD, peptic ulcers, and gastritis. It helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion in children. It manages Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (excessive acid production) and promotes healing in the esophagus and stomach in children. It blocks the H2 receptor in the stomach wall, reducing gastric acid secretion. Decreasing acid production prevents damage to the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum tissues. It may cause common side effects such as sleepiness, headache, tiredness, constipation, and diarrhea in your child. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if your child is allergic to it, about all the medications your child is taking, and about pre-existing medical conditions.
