About this item
Polygel works through a dual mechanism: it chemically neutralizes excess stomach acid while physically breaking down gas bubbles that cause pressure. The liquid suspension format is particularly effective as it begins working the moment it is swallowed, providing an immediate cooling sensation for the "burning" feeling associated with heartburn.
Uses of Polygel Antacid SuspensionPolygel is specifically indicated for:
- Heartburn & Acid Reflux: Relief from the burning pain in the chest caused by acid rising into the esophagus (GERD).
- Peptic Ulcer Pain: Soothing the irritation caused by stomach or duodenal ulcers.
- Flatulence & Meteorism: Reducing bloating and the uncomfortable pressure of trapped gas.
- Dyspepsia: Treating general indigestion, "sour stomach," and over-fullness after meals.
- Gastritis: Managing the inflammation of the stomach lining.
Active Ingredients in Polygel Each 5ml typically contains a synergistic blend of:
- Aluminium Hydroxide: A fast-acting antacid that raises the pH level of the stomach.
- Magnesium Hydroxide: Provides a sustained neutralizing effect and helps balance the constipating tendency of aluminium.
- Activated Methylpolysiloxane (Simethicone): An anti-foaming agent that changes the surface tension of gas bubbles in the stomach, allowing them to be passed more easily.
Dosage of Polygel
- Adults and Children over 12 years: Usually 5ml to 10ml (1 to 2 teaspoonfuls).
- Frequency: Taken between meals (about 1 hour after eating) and at bedtime, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
- Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 60ml in a 24-hour period.
Proper Administration
- Shake Well: Always shake the bottle vigorously before each dose to ensure the active ingredients are evenly suspended.
- Measurement: Use a proper measuring spoon or the cup provided with the bottle to ensure an accurate dose.
- Water: You may follow the dose with a small amount of water if you dislike the taste, but for maximum coating effect, it is best taken undiluted.
How to Store and Dispose of Polygel
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from direct sunlight. Do not freeze.
- Cap Care: Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to prevent the liquid from thickening or drying out.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Dispose of the bottle according to local environmental regulations.
Quick Tips for Polygel
- The "Hour After" Rule: Taking antacids one hour after a meal provides longer-lasting relief (up to 3 hours) compared to taking them on an empty stomach.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: To help Polygel work better, avoid lying down immediately after eating and try to eat smaller, more frequent meals.
- Nighttime Relief: If you suffer from nighttime heartburn, taking a dose right before bed can prevent acid from rising while you sleep.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of Polygel
- Severe Renal Failure: Patients with significant kidney disease should avoid magnesium/aluminium antacids due to the risk of mineral buildup in the blood.
- Hypophosphatemia: Avoid prolonged use if you have low phosphate levels, as aluminium can further deplete phosphate.
- Allergy: Do not use if you are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients.
Side Effects of Polygel
- Common: Mild changes in bowel movements. Aluminium may cause constipation, while magnesium may have a mild laxative effect; Polygel is balanced to minimize these.
- Less Common: Chalky taste in the mouth or mild nausea.
- Action: If you experience persistent diarrhea or severe stomach cramps, stop use and consult your pharmacist.
Precautions and Warnings
- Drug Interactions: Antacids can significantly reduce the absorption of other medicines (such as Tetracycline antibiotics, Iron supplements, and Digoxin). Wait at least 2 hours between taking Polygel and any other medication.
- Duration: If symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks despite regular use, see a doctor to rule out more serious underlying conditions.
- Sodium Content: Check the label if you are on a strictly sodium-restricted diet.
- Pack Size: 200ml Bottle.
- Form: Oral Suspension.
- Key Ingredients: Aluminium Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide, Simethicone.
