Namaste! Apollo Antigas Syrup contains aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, which are generally considered safe for occasional use during pregnancy to relieve acidity and gas, but it is best to use them under medical supervision.
🩺 Safety in Pregnancy
- Antacids like Apollo Antigas Syrup can help neutralize stomach acid and ease symptoms of heartburn common in pregnancy.
- However, excessive or prolonged use should be avoided without consulting a doctor, as some ingredients may affect mineral balance.
🏥 Safe Alternatives for Acidity in Pregnancy
- Simple lifestyle changes such as eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy or fatty foods, and not lying down immediately after eating can help.
- Doctors often recommend calcium-based antacids (like calcium carbonate) as a safer alternative during pregnancy.
- Always consult an obstetrician before starting any medication for acidity to ensure safety for both mother and baby.
🩺 When to See a Doctor
- If acidity symptoms are severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms like vomiting or weight loss, see your obstetrician promptly.
