Gascol Suspension (Pink) – Fast Relief for Heartburn, Gas & Indigestion
Gascol Suspension (Pink) is a trusted dual-action antacid and anti-flatulent medicine made in Nigeria by Fidson Healthcare PLC. This pink, strawberry-flavored variant is specially formulated to provide sharp and fast relief from stomach acidity, bloating, and trapped gas.
What is Gascol Used For?
Gascol is a reliable solution for many Nigerians dealing with gastrointestinal discomfort. It is highly effective for:
- Heartburn and Acid Indigestion: Neutralizes stomach acid almost immediately after ingestion.
- Bloating and Flatulence (Gas): Contains Simethicone which helps break down gas bubbles for easy expulsion.
- Ulcer Relief: While not a cure, Gascol provides soothing relief from the burning pain associated with peptic ulcers.
- GERD: Helps manage the "acid reflux" sensation in the chest and throat.
Active Ingredients
Every 5ml of Gascol Suspension contains:
- Magaldrate (540mg): A potent magnesium-aluminum complex that raises gastric pH to stop the burn.
- Simethicone (100mg): A reliable anti-foaming agent for gas relief.
Gascol Dosage and How to Use
For best results, shake the bottle well before each use.
- Adults: Take 1 to 2 teaspoons (5ml – 10ml) between meals and at bedtime.
- Children: Always consult a doctor or a GoMed pharmacist before giving Gascol to children to ensure correct dosing.
Side Effects and Safety
Gascol is generally well-tolerated, but some may experience minor changes in bowel movements. If you are pregnant, always check with your doctor before use. You can also chat with a GoMed pharmacist for advice on safety during pregnancy.
