Diovol-LA Suspension is taken without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The dose you are given will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine.

The most common side effects are diarrhea, constipation, and allergic reactions. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact your doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any of these side effects. To overcome constipation, you should add fiber-rich foods to your diet and stay hydrated.

In Stomach ulcers
Stomach ulcers are painful sores that develop in the inner lining of the stomach or gut (intestine). Diovol-LA Suspension reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes which prevents further damage to the ulcer as it heals naturally. You may be given other medicines along with this medicine depending on what caused the ulcer. You need to keep taking Diovol-LA Suspension as prescribed by the doctor for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.
In Bloating
Bloating refers to excessive buildup of gas in our stomach due to abnormal muscle movement in our stomach and intestines. Diovol-LA Suspension improves the movement of food in the stomach and helps prevent bloating.
You should take it exactly as it is prescribed or as it says on the label for it to be effective. Some simple lifestyle changes can help stop or reduce bloating. Think about what foods trigger bloating and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight and try to find ways to relax. Do not eat within 3 to 4 hours of going to bed.

How Diovol Suspension works
Diovol-LA Suspension is a combination of four medicines: Oxetacaine, Aluminium Hydroxide, Dimethicone, and Magnesium. Oxetacaine is a local anesthetic that provides fast relief from pain due to ulcers or acidic injury in the stomach on account of its numbing effect. Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium are antacids that neutralize excess acid in the stomach. Dimethicone is an antifoaming medicine that disintegrates gas bubbles and allows easy passage of gas.
