How It Works

The antacid components (Calcium Carbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Aluminium Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide) neutralize stomach acid rapidly. Simethicone breaks down gas bubbles to reduce bloating. Alginic Acid forms a protective foam barrier that floats on stomach contents, preventing acid reflux. Natural ingredients like ginger aid digestion while aniseed and mint provide soothing effects.

Dosage

Take Gestid Plus 1-3 hours after meals and at bedtime as needed. Shake well before use. Do not exceed recommended dosage.

Duration of Action

Gestid Plus Suspension begins working within 1-3 minutes of administration. Acid neutralization effects typically last 1-3 hours depending on stomach contents. The protective barrier formed by Alginic Acid provides reflux protection for up to 4 hours after dosing.

Side Effects

Most patients tolerate Gestid Plus well. Occasional mild side effects include constipation (from aluminium), diarrhea (from magnesium), or mild nausea. Long-term excessive use may cause electrolyte imbalances. Rare allergic reactions may occur in sensitive individuals.

Warning

Do not use continuously for more than 2 weeks without medical supervision. Avoid in patients with severe kidney disease or those on sodium-restricted diets. Do not take within 2 hours of other medications as absorption may be affected. Consult doctor if symptoms persist after 7 days of treatment.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Gestid Plus can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding when needed for symptom relief. The ingredients are generally considered safe, but consult healthcare provider before regular use. Avoid excessive doses as high aluminum levels may be concerning during pregnancy.

Interaction

• May reduce absorption of tetracycline antibiotics, iron supplements, and some heart medications
• Can interfere with quinolone antibiotic effectiveness
• May affect absorption of thyroid medications if taken simultaneously
• Possible interaction with certain osteoporosis medications
• Can alter effectiveness of some antifungal medications

Precaution

Use cautiously in patients with kidney impairment, heart failure, or high blood pressure due to sodium content. Those with phenylketonuria should note artificial sweeteners. Diabetic patients can use safely as it’s sugar-free. Store below 30°C and do not freeze.

Important Information

Gestid Plus is for symptomatic relief and does not treat underlying causes of acid-related disorders. Persistent symptoms require medical evaluation. Shake bottle well before each use and replace cap tightly. Keep out of reach of children. If symptoms worsen or persist beyond one week, consult healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
