Jehyson Mist Magnesium Trisilicate is an antacid suspension containing magnesium trisilicate. This medication neutralizes stomach acid to relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach while providing a protective coating for the gastric mucosa.
Uses
Jehyson Mist treats acid-related digestive disorders including heartburn, acid indigestion, sour stomach, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It also helps manage peptic ulcers, gastritis, and dyspepsia. This medication provides quick relief from acid-related discomfort and pain.
Benefits
- Neutralizes excess stomach acid rapidly
- Relieves heartburn and acid indigestion
- Provides protective coating for stomach lining
- Reduces pain associated with peptic ulcers
- Alleviates symptoms of gastritis and GERD
- Offers longer-lasting relief than some other antacids
- Well-tolerated with minimal systemic absorption
- Can be used as needed for occasional symptoms
- Suitable for many patients who cannot take H2 blockers or PPIs
How It Works
Magnesium trisilicate works by chemically neutralizing stomach acid, raising the pH in the stomach and esophagus. It forms a protective gel-like layer on the stomach lining, providing a physical barrier against acid damage. This dual action both neutralizes existing acid and helps protect irritated tissues.
Dosage
| Age Group | 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 Jehyson Mist between meals and at bedtime. Shake well before using. Use the measuring cup provided for accurate dosing.
Duration of Action
Jehyson Mist begins neutralizing stomach acid within minutes of administration. Relief typically lasts 2-3 hours, longer than many other antacids due to the protective coating effect. For optimal results in chronic conditions, take regularly as prescribed rather than only when symptoms occur.
Side Effects
Most patients tolerate Jehyson Mist well. Occasional side effects include chalky taste, mild constipation, or loose stools. Prolonged high-dose use may cause electrolyte imbalances, particularly in patients with kidney impairment. Discontinue use if diarrhea or constipation becomes significant.
Warning
Do not use for more than two weeks continuously without medical supervision. Persistent symptoms may indicate a more serious condition requiring different treatment. Magnesium-containing antacids may cause diarrhea and should be used cautiously in patients with bowel disorders. Consult a doctor if symptoms worsen or do not improve.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Jehyson Mist is generally considered safe during pregnancy when used as directed for short-term relief of heartburn and indigestion. Pregnant women should consult their healthcare provider before regular use. Minimal absorption makes it compatible with breastfeeding, though nursing mothers should use only as needed.
Interaction
- May reduce absorption of tetracycline antibiotics
- Can decrease effectiveness of iron supplements
- Possible reduced absorption of certain antifungal medications
- May alter the effects of medications that require stomach acid
- Should be taken 2 hours apart from other medications
Precaution
Use with caution in patients with kidney disease as magnesium may accumulate to toxic levels. Elderly patients may be more susceptible to side effects. Those on sodium-restricted diets should check formulation details. Avoid long-term, high-dose use without medical supervision. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you have kidney disease or are taking other medications.
Important Information
Jehyson Mist provides symptomatic relief but does not treat underlying causes of excess stomach acid. If symptoms persist or recur frequently, seek medical evaluation. Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Keep tightly closed and shake well before each use. Discard unused medication after expiration date. Not recommended as a calcium or magnesium supplement.
