About this item
Rulox is a non-systemic antacid, meaning it works locally in the stomach to neutralize acid without being absorbed into the bloodstream. The combination of magnesium and aluminium salts is intentional: aluminium can sometimes cause constipation, while magnesium can have a mild laxative effect. By combining them, Rulox provides effective relief while maintaining normal bowel regularity.
Dosage of Rulox TabletsFor Adults and Children over 12 years:
- Typical Dose: 1 to 2 tablets to be chewed as needed.
- Frequency: Can be taken up to 4 times a day, usually after meals and at bedtime.
- Maximum Dose: Do not exceed the recommended daily limit stated on the pack.
Proper Administration
- Chew Thoroughly: Do not swallow these tablets whole. For the antacid to work effectively, the tablets must be chewed thoroughly before swallowing. This increases the surface area for the medicine to neutralize stomach acid.
- Timing: For best results, take Rulox 1 hour after meals and before going to bed, as this is when acid production is typically highest.
- Follow with Water: You may drink a small sip of water after chewing to help wash the medicine down.
How to Store and Dispose of Rulox Tablets
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from moisture and light. Keep the tablets in their original blister pack.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return unused or expired tablets to your pharmacist.
Quick Tips for Rulox Tablets
- Lifestyle Check: If you find yourself needing Rulox every day for more than two weeks, consult your doctor to rule out more serious conditions like GERD.
- Trigger Foods: Identify and avoid foods that trigger your acid (e.g., caffeine, chocolate, fatty foods, or citrus).
- Late Night Eating: Try to finish your last meal at least 3 hours before lying down to prevent nighttime heartburn.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of Rulox Tablets
- Kidney Disease: Use with extreme caution if you have kidney impairment, as magnesium and aluminium can accumulate in the body.
- Phosphate Levels: Do not use if you have low phosphate levels (hypophosphatemia), as aluminium can further lower these levels.
- Allergies: Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.
Side Effects of Rulox Tablets
- Common: Chalky taste in the mouth or mild change in bowel movements.
- Rare: Stomach cramps or nausea.
- Action: If you experience persistent constipation or diarrhea, stop use and consult a pharmacist.
Precautions and Warnings
- Drug Interactions: Antacids can stop your body from absorbing other medicines. Wait at least 2 hours between taking Rulox and other medications (especially antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin or Tetracycline, and heart medicines).
- Sodium Content: If you are on a salt-restricted diet, check the label or ask your pharmacist about the sodium content.
- Pregnancy: Generally considered safe for occasional use, but always consult your doctor first.
- Pack Size: 16 Tablets (2 x 8 blister strips).
- Manufacturer: SKG Pharma.
- Form: Chewable Tablet.
- Key Ingredients: Aluminium Hydroxide, Magnesium Trisilicate.
