Uses of Tocid Suspension
Benefits of Tocid Suspension
In Treatment of Acidity
Tocid Suspension provides quick relief from acidity and heartburn by neutralizing excess stomach acid and forming a protective layer over the stomach lining. This helps reduce burning sensations, irritation, and discomfort in the chest or upper abdomen. It acts rapidly to ease symptoms and promote digestive comfort. For best results, take it as prescribed by your doctor and avoid spicy, oily, or acidic foods that may worsen acidity.
In Treatment of Indigestion
Tocid Suspension helps relieve indigestion, bloating, and a feeling of fullness after meals. It helps break down trapped gas in the stomach and intestines, making it easier for the body to expel it. This reduces abdominal pressure and discomfort, allowing better digestion. Along with the medicine, eat smaller, more frequent meals, avoid trigger foods, and stay physically active to support healthy digestion.
