In Stomach ulcers
Stomach ulcers are painful sores that develop in the inner lining of the stomach or gut (intestine). Famtac Gel Mint 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 Famtac Gel Mint 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. Famtac Gel Mint improves the movement of food in the stomach and helps prevent bloating.
You should take it exactly as it is prescribed for it to be effective. Some simple lifestyle changes can help stop or reduce bloating. Eat healthy, avoid spicy or oily food, exercise daily for at least 30 minutes and do not overeat.
