Campharm Mist Mag contains Magnesium Trisilicate, an antacid compound that neutralizes stomach acid. This liquid formulation provides relief from acid-related digestive discomfort and protects the stomach lining from excessive acid exposure.
Uses
Campharm Mist Mag treats acid-related digestive conditions including heartburn, acid indigestion, sour stomach, and gastritis. It also provides symptomatic relief for peptic ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The suspension formula allows for quick distribution and action in the stomach.
Benefits
- Neutralizes excess stomach acid quickly
- Provides relief from heartburn and acid indigestion
- Soothes stomach irritation and discomfort
- Helps protect stomach lining from acid damage
- Creates a protective barrier on ulcers
- Less likely to cause acid rebound than some antacids
- Longer-lasting effect than some other antacids
- Gentle formulation suitable for most patients
- May reduce pepsin activity in gastric juice
How It Works
Magnesium Trisilicate reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach to form magnesium chloride and silicic acid, effectively neutralizing stomach acid. It provides a mild, sustained acid-neutralizing effect. The formed silicic acid creates a protective coating on the stomach lining, offering additional protection against acid irritation.
Dosage
| Patient Age | Standard Dosage | Maximum Daily Dosage |
|---|---|---|
| Adults | 10-20 ml, 3-4× daily | 80 ml |
| Children (6-12) | 5-10 ml, 3× daily | 30 ml |
Take between meals and at bedtime. Shake well before use. Use measuring cup provided for accurate dosing.
Duration of Action
Campharm Mist Mag begins neutralizing stomach acid within 5 minutes of administration. The acid-neutralizing effects typically last 2-3 hours, longer than many other antacids. For optimal symptom control, take as directed rather than waiting for symptoms to return.
Side Effects
Most patients tolerate Campharm Mist Mag well. Occasional side effects include chalky taste, mild diarrhea, or stomach cramps. Prolonged high-dose use may cause magnesium accumulation in patients with kidney impairment, leading to weakness, nausea, or irregular heartbeat.
Warning
Do not exceed recommended dosage. Persistent symptoms lasting more than 2 weeks require medical evaluation. Not suitable for those with severe kidney disease. Antacids may mask symptoms of more serious conditions like stomach ulcers or cancer. Seek medical attention for severe abdominal pain, black stools, or vomiting blood.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Campharm Mist Mag is generally considered safe during pregnancy when used as directed for short periods. Long-term use or high doses should be avoided without medical supervision. The medication is compatible with breastfeeding, with minimal amounts transferred through breast milk.
Interaction
- May reduce absorption of tetracycline antibiotics
- Could affect quinolone antibiotic effectiveness
- May alter absorption of iron supplements
- Potentially reduces effectiveness of bisphosphonates
- Can affect timing of digoxin absorption
- May interfere with certain antiretroviral medications
Precaution
Use cautiously in patients with kidney impairment as magnesium may accumulate. Take at least 2 hours apart from other medications to prevent absorption interference. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to side effects. Prolonged use of antacids without proper diagnosis is not recommended.
Important Information
Campharm Mist Mag provides temporary relief of acid-related symptoms but does not treat underlying conditions. Lifestyle modifications like avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, and weight management remain important for long-term management. If symptoms worsen or do not improve after 2 weeks, consult a healthcare provider.
