About this item
Polygel Dual is specifically formulated for patients whose main symptom is acid reflux (heartburn). While the antacid components neutralize existing acid, the Sodium Alginate reacts with stomach acid to form a thick, buoyant gel layer (the raft). This raft sits on top of the stomach contents, physically blocking acid from splashing back up into the throat, which is especially helpful after heavy meals or when lying down.
Dosage of Polygel Dual
- Adults and Children 12 years and over: 10ml to 20ml (two to four 5ml spoonfuls).
- Frequency: Taken after meals and at bedtime (up to four times a day).
- Children under 12 years: Should only be taken on medical advice.
Proper Administration
- Shake Well: Vigorously shake the bottle before use to ensure the alginate is properly distributed.
- Timing is Key: For the best results, take Polygel Dual after you have finished your meal. This allows the "raft" to sit on top of the food you just ate.
- Undiluted: Do not mix with water or juice, as this can weaken the strength of the protective raft.
How to Store and Dispose of Polygel Dual
- Storage: Store below 30°C. Do not refrigerate or freeze (cold temperatures can change the consistency of the gel).
- Shelf Life: Check the expiry date on the bottle. Use within 6 months of opening.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children.
Quick Tips for Polygel Dual
- Nighttime Reflux: If you suffer from "silent reflux" or coughing at night, take your final dose right before getting into bed.
- Gravity Helps: Even with Polygel Dual, try to wait 2–3 hours after eating before lying completely flat.
- The "Raft" Duration: The protective layer can last for several hours, providing longer relief than tablets alone.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of Polygel Dual
- Severe Renal Impairment: Due to the calcium and sodium content, use with caution if you have kidney disease.
- Sodium-Restricted Diets: This product contains significant sodium; consult your doctor if you are on a low-salt diet (e.g., for hypertension or heart failure).
- Hypercalcemia: Avoid if you have high calcium levels in the blood.
Side Effects of Polygel Dual
- Common: Very rarely, mild bloating or flatulence as the "raft" forms.
- Less Common: Constipation (due to calcium carbonate).
- Action: If you experience an unusual skin rash or difficulty breathing, you may be allergic to one of the ingredients; stop use immediately.
Precautions and Warnings
- Drug Interactions: The "raft" can trap other medicines or prevent them from being absorbed. Wait at least 2 hours between taking Polygel Dual and other medications (especially antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin or heart medicines like Digoxin).
- Persistent Symptoms: If symptoms do not improve after 7 days, see a doctor to ensure there is no underlying damage to the esophagus.
- Pack Size: 200ml Bottle.
- Form: Oral Suspension.
- Key Ingredients: Sodium Alginate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Calcium Carbonate.
