Intacid Sugar Free Mint Flavour Gel 200 ml

Intacid Sugar Free Mint Flavour Gel 200 ml is used to relieve symptoms associated with excess stomach acid, heartburn, and gas. The detailed uses are as follows:

• Heartburn and Acid Indigestion: Helps relieve the burning sensation in your chest and throat by neutralising excess stomach acid.
• Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers: Assists in protecting the stomach lining, allowing painful ulcers to heal without further acid irritation.
• Gas and Bloating: Relieves painful pressure and bloating in the stomach by breaking down trapped gas bubbles.
• Gastritis: Soothes inflammation of the stomach lining to reduce pain, nausea, and discomfort.

Taking Intacid Sugar Free Mint Flavour Gel 200 ml provides several benefits, including:

• Rapid Relief from Acidity: Provides rapid relief from the burning pain of acidity, helping you return to your normal daily activities without discomfort. By neutralising excess stomach acid quickly, it helps ease the sour taste in your mouth and the painful pressure of gas.
• Improves Night-time Comfort: Helps you sleep more comfortably by preventing nighttime acid reflux when you lie down.
• Protects the Digestive Tract: Forms a soothing barrier over irritated tissues, promoting faster healing of the digestive tract and ensuring long-term comfort when used as directed.

• Intacid Sugar Free Mint Flavour Gel 200 ml can be taken with or without food as advised by your doctor.
• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Take the suggested dose by mouth using the measuring cup/dosing syringe/dropper provided by the pack.
• Avoid using regular household spoons, as they may not accurately measure the dose. Shake well before use.

• Avoid trigger foods and beverages: Spicy dishes, fried foods, citrus fruits, tomatoes, caffeine, chocolate, and carbonated drinks can worsen your symptoms.
• Eat smaller, more frequent meals: Have smaller meals throughout the day instead of three large meals to reduce pressure on your stomach.
• Avoid lying down after meals: Wait at least two to three hours after eating before lying down or going to bed to help prevent acid reflux.
• Elevate the head of your bed: Raise the head of your bed by six to nine inches using blocks or a wedge pillow to help keep stomach acid down while you sleep.
• Wear loose-fitting clothing: Choose loose-fitting clothing around your waist to reduce pressure on your abdomen.  
• Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption: Smoking and alcohol can weaken the lower oesophageal sphincter (the muscle valve that keeps stomach acid from rising into your food pipe) and increase acid production.

• Check the bottle before use: Always check the bottle before use to ensure the seal is intact and the suspension appears uniform after shaking.
• Separate other oral medicines: Do not take other oral medicines within 2 hours before or after taking Intacid Sugar Free Mint Flavour Gel 200 ml, as it can significantly reduce their effectiveness.
• Avoid prolonged use: Do not use this medicine for more than two consecutive weeks without consulting your doctor, as long-term use can mask more serious digestive issues.
• Check sodium content if required: If you are on a low-sodium or salt-restricted diet, check with your pharmacist, as some formulations of this medicine may contain sodium.
• Monitor your bowel movements: Monitor your bowel movements; if you develop persistent diarrhoea or constipation, contact your doctor for advice.
