FAQs

Cintawin 1mg Tablet works by increasing the movement of the muscles of the oesophagus (food pipe), stomach, and intestines during digestion. Cintawin 1mg Tablet acts upon a chemical messenger called serotonin located in the nerves of the digestive tract, thereby increasing the release of acetylcholine. As a result, stomach and intestines motility speed up, thereby improving gastrointestinal function.

Patients with a history of gastrointestinal‚ bleeding/ulcer, movement disorders‚ mechanical obstruction or perforations (holes) in the intestine should‚ contact a doctor before using Cintawin 1mg Tablet.

Diarrhoea might be a side-effect of Cintawin 1mg Tablet. Drink lots of fluids/water and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea. Besides this, probiotics and prebiotic intake can help cope with water loss. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you experience severe diarrhoea, consult your doctor.

Avoid lying down immediately after meals. Raise the head of the bed 10-20 cm by putting a pillow so that the head and chest are above the waist. Besides this, avoid smoking, alcohol drinking, and eating spicy oily foods. This helps prevent acid reflux and heartburn.

Smoking and alcohol consumption can significantly exacerbate acid reflux and GERD symptoms. When you smoke, the muscle that separates the oesophagus and stomach relaxes, allowing stomach acid to flow back up and irritate the oesophagus. Alcohol consumption also relaxes this muscle and increases acid production in the stomach, leading to heartburn, regurgitation, and discomfort. By understanding the impact of smoking and alcohol on acid reflux, you can take steps to reduce your symptoms and prevent long-term damage. Quitting smoking and moderating alcohol intake can help alleviate discomfort and improve your overall health.

Cintawin 1mg Tablet is used with Rabeprazole to treat acid-related conditions like GERD and peptic ulcers.
