Polycain Oral Gel Jamaican Strawberry
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Polycain Oral Gel Jamaican Strawberry is a combination medicine used in the treatment of acidity, heartburn and stomach ulcers. It works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach which helps relieve acid-related indigestion and heartburn. It also speeds up the healing of ulcers in the stomach and intestine.
Polycain Oral Gel Jamaican Strawberry is taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The dose you are given will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. You should keep taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop treatment too early your symptoms may come back and your condition may worsen. Let your healthcare team know about all other medications you are taking as some may affect, or be affected by this medicine.
Common side effects of this medicine include chalky taste, diarrhea, and constipation. These are usually mild and disappear after a short time. Consult your doctor if they persist. To overcome constipation, you should add fiber-rich foods in your diet and stay hydrated.
Before taking the medicine always consult your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you are suffering from any severe stomach, liver, kidney disease, or any known disease. Lifestyle modifications like having cold milk and avoiding hot tea, coffee, spicy food, or chocolate can help you to get better results.
