About PPZ Oral Gel
PPZ Oral Gel belongs to a group of medicines called antacids & antiulcerants used to treat acidity, bloating, indigestion, heartburn, and gas. The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn. Bloating occurs when the abdomen is filled with gas or air.
PPZ Oral Gel is a combination of two drugs: Magaldrate (antacid) and Simethicone (anti-flatulent). Magaldrate works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract.
You are advised to take PPZ Oral Gel for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as constipation, diarrhoea, and a chalky taste. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Inform your doctor if you are allergic to PPZ Oral Gel or any of their components before starting this medicine. Inform your doctor if you have a history of bowel blockage, appendicitis, kidney problems, or have recently undergone bowel surgery. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on a low-magnesium diet, consult your doctor before taking PPZ Oral Gel. Also, avoid consumption of alcohol, as it may increase stomach acidity and reduce the effectiveness of the medication. Do not give PPZ Oral Gel to children unless advised by the doctor.
