ULGICID SUSP 200ML MINT

Overview & Mechanism of Action

• Ulgicid Suspension ($200\text{ml}$ bottle with a pleasant mint flavor, formulated with balanced antacids and an antiflatulent agent) provides dual-action relief across the upper gastrointestinal tract:
• Buffered Gastric Acid Neutralization: Chemically reacts with excess stomach hydrochloric acid ($\text{HCl}$), elevating gastric $\text{pH}$ to an optimal range ($3.5\text{ to } 5.0$). This rapidly mitigates burning epigastric discomfort without inducing systemic alkalosis or acid rebound.
• Pepsin Inactivation & Mucosal Protection: Elevating gastric $\text{pH}$ reduces proteolytic pepsin activity, protecting vulnerable mucosal linings across the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum from acid erosion and peptic tissue damage.
• Surface Tension Defoaming (Simethicone): Alters the surface tension of gas bubbles trapped within the gastrointestinal lumen, causing small air pockets to coalesce into larger bubbles that are easily eliminated via belching or flatus, quickly relieving abdominal distension.

Clinical Indications & Uses

• Ulgicid Suspension 200ml Mint is indicated for:
• Symptomatic relief of hyperacidity, heartburn, acid indigestion, and non-ulcer dyspepsia
• Adjunctive management of gastric and duodenal ulcers, acute or chronic gastritis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease ($\text{GERD}$)
• Relief of abdominal pressure, gas pain, fullness, and bloating associated with excess intestinal gas accumulation

Usage Guidance & Safety Precautions

Administration:

• Shake the bottle thoroughly before each use. Take orally 1 to 2 hours after meals and at bedtime, or as needed upon onset of acid distress.

Recommended Dosage:

• Adults and Children over 12 years: Take $10\text{ml}$ to $20\text{ml}$ (2 to 4 teaspoons) up to 4 times daily, or as directed by a physician.

Precautions & Warnings:

• For oral administration only. Use with caution in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease ($\text{ESRD}$), as prolonged use may lead to aluminum or magnesium toxicity. Antacids can impair the intestinal absorption of concomitantly administered medications (e.g., fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, oral iron supplements); separate administration by at least 2 hours. Store below $25^\circ\text{C}$ in a cool, dry place protected from direct heat. Keep out of reach of children.
