Product introduction
Spectocid A Oral Suspension is a medicine used to relieve hyperacidity and epigastric pain (abdominal pain). It works by neutralizing excess stomach acid, releasing trapped gas to reduce bloating and discomfort, and providing rapid relief from pain, burning, and irritation in the stomach and food pipe.
Spectocid A Oral Suspension should be taken on an empty stomach in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. The exact dose will depend on your condition and response to treatment. Continue taking this medicine for as long as recommended, even if you start to feel better, as stopping too early may cause your symptoms to return or worsen.
Common side effects include a chalky taste, diarrhea, constipation, and mild allergic reactions. These effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own. However, contact your doctor immediately if they persist or cause concern. To manage constipation, include fiber-rich foods in your diet and drink plenty of water. This medicine may also cause dizziness, so avoid driving or performing tasks that require focus until you know how it affects you.
Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking, as some may interact with this one. Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Also, let your doctor know if you have any kidney or liver problems so that your dose can be adjusted appropriately. Avoid using it longer than prescribed, as prolonged use may have harmful effects on your health. Refrain from consuming alcohol, as it may increase dizziness or stomach irritation.
