Fast Relief for Heartburn and Indigestion
Gestid Suspension is a trusted antacid and anti-flatulent used across Nigeria for the fast relief of stomach-related discomfort. Whether you are dealing with heartburn after a spicy meal or feeling bloated, Gestid provides a balanced formula to neutralize excess acid and expel trapped gas.
How Gestid Suspension Works
Gestid combines three active ingredients to tackle digestive issues from different angles:
- Aluminium Hydroxide & Magnesium Hydroxide: These work together as antacids to neutralize stomach acid quickly, providing relief from that "burning sensation" in the chest and throat often associated with acid reflux.
- Simethicone: This is an anti-foaming agent that helps break down gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines, making it easier to pass gas and reduce bloating or the feeling of being "too full."
Key Benefits
- Relieves Heartburn: Fast-acting relief for acid reflux and sour stomach.
- Reduces Bloating: Helps with stomach gas and trapped wind.
- Ulcer Symptom Management: Often used to manage the burning pain associated with peptic ulcers.
- Balanced Formula: Designed to provide effective relief while minimizing the digestive side effects often found in single-ingredient antacids.
How to Use Gestid for Best Results
To get the most out of your medication:
- Shake well: Always shake the bottle before pouring your dose.
- Dosage: For adults, the typical dose is 10ml (two teaspoons) taken three to four times daily.
- Timing: It is most effective when taken 20 to 60 minutes after meals and just before going to bed.
Pregnancy and Safety Information
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is important to consult your doctor or speak with a GoMed pharmacist before using Gestid. While many antacids are used during pregnancy for heartburn, professional medical advice ensures safety for you and your baby. Patients with kidney issues should also seek medical guidance before use.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of the reach of children.
