ACIGENE TABLET

ACIGENE TABLET belongs to a group of medicines called antacids used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and stomach upset. The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, the mucous layer becomes eroded due to excessive acid production, leading to complications such as acidity and heartburn.

ACIGENE TABLET is a combination of four drugs: Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium hydroxide, Magnesium silicate and Simethicone. Aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and magnesium silicate belong to a group of antacids. Aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and magnesium silicate work by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone is anti-flatulent, which works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping).

Take ACIGENE TABLET as recommended by your doctor. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as constipation, diarrhoea, dizziness, and drowsiness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Let your doctor know if you are allergic to any of the components in ACIGENE TABLET. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. ACIGENE TABLET should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol as it could lead to increased acidity. ACIGENE TABLET may cause dizziness and drowsiness, do not drive or operate machinery unless you are alert. Inform your doctor regarding other medicines you are taking to prevent any side effects/interactions.

• Take ACIGENE TABLET after meals, or as advised by the physician.
• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
• Chew or suck the medicine.
• Do not swallow it as a whole.

ACIGENE TABLET belongs to a group of medicines called antacids used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and stomach upset. ACIGENE TABLET contains Aluminium hydroxide (antacid), Magnesium hydroxide (antacid), Magnesium silicate (antacid), and Simethicone (anti-flatulent). Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium hydroxide, and Magnesium silicate work by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone works by lowering the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract.

Do not take ACIGENE TABLET if you are allergic to any of its contents, debilitated (very weak) if you have severe stomach pain or a partially or fully blocked bowel. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. ACIGENE TABLET should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Inform your doctor before taking ACIGENE TABLET if you have low phosphate levels, high magnesium levels, kidney or liver problems, a low-phosphate diet, or taking antibiotics such as doxycycline, oxytetracycline, levofloxacin, or ciprofloxacin. Avoid consuming foods and drinks containing citrates with ACIGENE TABLET, as it may lead to increased serum levels of aluminium, which can be harmful. Avoid consuming alcohol along with ACIGENE TABLET as it could lead to increased acidity. ACIGENE TABLET may cause dizziness and drowsiness; do not drive or operate machinery unless you are alert.
