Acinil O Syrup 120ml belongs to a group of medicines called antacids used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and stomach upset. The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn. 
 
Acinil O Syrup 120ml contains dried aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, activated dimethicone, and oxetacaine. Dried aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide work by neutralising excess stomach acid. Activated dimethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). Oxetacaine exerts a numbing effect, thereby providing relief from pain due to ulcers or acidic injury in the stomach.
 
You are advised to take Acinil O Syrup 120ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as constipation, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, and tiredness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
 
Inform your doctor if you have low phosphate levels, high magnesium levels, kidney or liver problems; or if you are taking antibiotics such as doxycycline, oxytetracycline, levofloxacin, or ciprofloxacin. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Acinil O Syrup 120ml is not recommended for children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol, as it could lead to increased acidity. Acinil O Syrup 120ml may cause dizziness and drowsiness; do not drive or operate machinery unless you are alert.

Acinil O Syrup 120ml belongs to a group of medicines called antacids used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and stomach upset. Acinil O Syrup 120ml is a combination of four drugs: Dried aluminium hydroxide (antacid), magnesium hydroxide (antacid), activated dimethicone (anti-flatulent) and oxetacaine (local anaesthetic). Dried aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide work by neutralising excess stomach acid. Activated dimethicone decreases the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). Oxetacaine exerts a numbing effect, relieving pain due to ulcers or acidic injury in the stomach. Thus, Acinil O Syrup 120ml helps provide relief from acidity-related issues.

• Eat smaller meals more often.
• Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption. Alcohol intake leads to increased production of stomach acid, thereby increasing acidity and heartburn.
• Maintain a healthy weight by regular exercising.
• Avoid lying down after eating to prevent acid reflux.
• Avoid tight-fitting clothes as it might increase the pressure on the abdomen leading to acid reflux.
• Practise relaxation techniques and avoid stress by doing yoga or meditation.
• Avoid foods such as high-fat food, spicy food, chocolates, citrus fruits, pineapple, tomato, onion, garlic, tea and soda. 
• Avoid sitting continuously, as it may trigger acidity. Take a break of 5 minutes every hour by brisk walking or stretching.

Acidity: The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity. Due to this, acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms include heartburn, a sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing.

Indigestion: Indigestion is the feeling of fullness. It occurs due to slow gastric emptying. Symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting. 

Gastritis: It is the inflammation of the stomach lining. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and upper stomach pain.
