How It Works

Magnesium Hydroxide and Aluminium Hydroxide work as antacids to neutralize excess stomach acid, providing quick relief from hyperacidity. The combination balances potential side effects – magnesium may cause diarrhea while aluminium may cause constipation. Simethicone breaks down gas bubbles in the digestive tract, reducing bloating and flatulence.

Dosage

Take StopAcid about one hour after meals. Shake well before each use. Follow physician’s directions if prescribed differently.

Duration of Action

StopAcid Suspension begins working within 5-10 minutes of administration. The antacid effect typically lasts 1-3 hours depending on stomach contents and individual factors. Simethicone provides gas relief within 30-60 minutes and effects may last several hours.

Side Effects

Most patients tolerate StopAcid Suspension well. Occasional mild side effects may include changes in bowel habits, with some experiencing slight diarrhea or constipation. Long-term use of large doses may rarely cause electrolyte imbalances, particularly in patients with kidney problems.

Warning

Do not exceed recommended dosage or use continuously for more than two weeks without medical supervision. StopAcid may reduce absorption of other medications. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist after regular use or if you experience severe abdominal pain, bloody stools, or signs of dehydration.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

StopAcid Suspension is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding when used as directed. The ingredients are minimally absorbed systemically. However, pregnant or nursing women should consult their healthcare provider before regular use, especially during the first trimester.

Interaction

• May reduce absorption of tetracycline antibiotics
• Can decrease effectiveness of iron supplements
• May interfere with absorption of certain heart medications
• Possible reduced absorption of some antifungal medications
• Could affect absorption of thyroid medications if taken simultaneously

Precaution

Patients with kidney disease should use StopAcid with caution due to magnesium content. Avoid concurrent use with other medications – space doses at least 2 hours apart. Shake well before each use. Store below 30°C, protected from light, and keep bottle tightly closed.

Important Information

StopAcid Suspension is for symptomatic relief only and does not treat underlying causes of acid-related conditions. If symptoms persist beyond two weeks, consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if seal is broken. The banana flavouring makes this medication palatable but does not alter its therapeutic effects.
