Gascol Antacid Suspension (Sugar Free) - 150ml

Gascol Suspension (Sugar Free) is a dual-action antacid and antiflatulent manufactured by Fidson Healthcare PLC. It is specially formulated to provide fast and effective relief from gastric discomforts while being suitable for individuals who need to monitor their sugar intake, such as those with diabetes.

Why Use Gascol Sugar Free?

Gascol combines two powerful ingredients to address stomach issues from two angles:

• Magaldrate (540mg): A potent antacid that neutralizes excess stomach acid, raising the pH levels to provide immediate relief from heartburn and acid indigestion.
• Simethicone (100mg): An antiflatulent that helps break down gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines, relieving bloating, pressure, and "windy colic."

Key Benefits and Uses

Gascol is an ideal choice for managing several gastrointestinal conditions common in Nigeria, often referred to as "stomach upset" or "body gas."

• Relief from Heartburn: Quickly cools the burning sensation in the chest and throat.
• Management of Indigestion & Dyspepsia: Helps your stomach feel better after heavy or spicy meals.
• Ulcer Discomfort: While not a cure for ulcers, Gascol is effective in neutralizing the acid that causes pain in gastric and duodenal ulcers.
• Flatulence and Bloating: Reduces the discomfort of trapped gas and feeling "bloated."

Is Gascol Safe in Pregnancy?

Many women in Nigeria ask, "Is Gascol safe in pregnancy?" Generally, antacids like Gascol are considered safe for occasional use during pregnancy to manage pregnancy-related heartburn. However, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider or a GoMed pharmacist before starting any new medication during pregnancy.

Dosage and Administration

For the best results, shake the bottle well before use. The typical dosage for adults is 5ml to 10ml, taken after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by your doctor.

If you have questions about how long Gascol takes to work or if it's suitable for your specific symptoms, feel free to contact a GoMed pharmacist for professional advice.
