Sidgel Syrup 170 ml

Question 1

How does Sidgel Syrup 170 ml work?

Accepted Answer

Sidgel Syrup 170 ml is a combination of three drugs: Magaldrate, Simethicone, and Oxetacaine. Magaldrate works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone works by decreasing gas bubbles' surface tension, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract. Oxetacaine exerts a numbing effect, thereby provides relief from pain due to ulcers or acidic injury in the stomach.

Question 2

Can I take Sidgel Syrup 170 ml for longer durations?

Talk to your doctor if you do not feel better even after taking Sidgel Syrup 170 ml for 14days. Do not take Sidgel Syrup 170 ml for longer durations unless prescribed by the doctor.

Question 3

Does Sidgel Syrup 170 ml cause diarrhoea?

Accepted Answer

Diarrhoea might be a side-effect of Sidgel Syrup 170 ml. Drink lots of fluids and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or experience severe diarrhoea consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

Question 4

Can I lie down after having meals?

Accepted Answer

Avoid lying down immediately after meals to prevent acidity. Raise the head of the bed 10-20cm by putting a pillow so that the head and chest are above the waist. This prevents acid reflux.
