Gascol Antacid Suspension (Sugar Free) - 150ml
Gascol Sugar-Free Suspension is a dual-action medicine used to treat symptoms of excess stomach acid and trapped gas. Manufactured by Fidson Healthcare PLC, this suspension is a trusted choice in Nigeria for fast relief from "stomach upset," heartburn, and that uncomfortable feeling of "body gas."
Because it is sugar-free, it is an ideal option for individuals with diabetes or those who need to manage their daily sugar intake.
How Gascol Works
Gascol combines two active ingredients to provide comprehensive relief:
- Magaldrate (540mg): An antacid that works quickly to neutralize excess stomach acid, helping to cool the burning sensation in the chest and throat (heartburn).
- Simethicone (100mg): An antiflatulent that helps break down gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines. This makes it easier to pass gas and relieves the pressure and bloating associated with "windy colic."
Key Benefits and Uses
Gascol is commonly used for:
- Heartburn and Acid Indigestion: Rapid relief after eating spicy or heavy Nigerian meals.
- Bloating and Flatulence: Reduces the feeling of fullness and trapped gas.
- Gastric and Duodenal Ulcers: Helps manage the painful symptoms caused by excess acid irritating the stomach lining.
- GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease): Provides a soothing effect on the esophagus.
Dosage and Administration
For effective results, always shake the bottle well before use.
- Adults: Take 5ml to 10ml (one to two teaspoonfuls) after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by your doctor.
- Do not exceed the recommended dose.
If your symptoms persist after using Gascol, we recommend you speak with a GoMed pharmacist or consult your doctor for further medical advice.
Storage
