Fast relief from hyperacidity & related symptoms like acid indigestion, heartburn, sour stomach & upset stomach.
Calcium carbonate reacts with gastric acid to produce a salt and water. For calcium carbonate the postulated chemical reaction is : CaCO3 + 2HCl = CaCl2 + H2O + CO2 Two grams of calcium carbonate will readily bring 100 ml of hydrochloric acid to a pH above 6. The increase in gastric pH diminishes the activity of pepsin in the gastric secretion. Up to 30% of the oral calcium load may be absorbed.
2-3 tablets when symptoms occurs; may be repeated hourly if needed or as directed by the physicians.
Calcium Carbonate may enhance the cardiac effects of digoxin and other cardiac glycosides, if systemic hypercalcaemia occurs. Calcium Carbonate may interfere with the absorption of concomitantly administered tetracycline preparatios and in chronic renal failure modification of Vitamin D therapy may be required to avoid hypercalcaemia when Calcium Carbonate is used as the primary phosphate binder.
Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients, hypercalcemia, renal calculi & hypophosatemia.
Generally well tolerated.
Thought to be the safest antacid during pregnancy & lactation.
Store in a cool, dry place in controlled room temperature.
Each tablet contains Calcium Carbonate 1.25 gm equivalent to 500 mg of Calcium.
