About Savocid Oral Gel
Savocid Oral Gel belongs to a group of medicines called antacids used to treat acidity, heartburn, stomach ulcer, indigestion, stomach upset, and bloating. The abdomen is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn.
Savocid Oral Gel consists of Dimethicone, Aluminium hydroxide, Milk of magnesia, and sorbitol. Dimethicone is an antifoaming agent that works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). Aluminium hydroxide and milk of magnesia are antacids that work by neutralising excess stomach acid and providing relief from acidity. Sorbitol is a laxative that softens the stools and makes it easier to pass.
Take Savocid Oral Gel as advised by your doctor. Sometimes, Savocid Oral Gel may cause common side effects, such as constipation and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Do not take Savocid Oral Gel if you are allergic to any of its contents. Inform your doctor before taking Savocid Oral Gel if you are undergoing dialysis. Consult your doctor before taking Savocid Oral Gel if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid consuming alcohol, as it could lead to increased acidity.
