INTRODUCTION
In Acidity Solacid-O Suspension Sugar Free relieves excessive acidity in your stomach which prevents heartburn and indigestion.

You need to take this medicine regularly to get the most out of it. Take a fiber-rich diet, avoid oily or spicy food and drink plenty of fluids while taking it to make sure you stay hydrated. In Heartburn Heartburn is a burning feeling in your chest caused by stomach acids travelling back up towards your throat and mouth (acid reflux). Solacid-O Suspension Sugar Free improves the movement of food in the stomach and helps prevent heartburn. You should take it exactly as it is prescribed or as it says on the label for it to be effective. Some simple lifestyle changes can help stop or reduce heartburn. Think about what foods trigger heartburn and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight and try to find ways to relax. Do not eat within 3 to 4 hours of going to bed. In Stomach ulcers Stomach ulcers are painful sores that develop in the inner lining of the stomach or gut (intestine). Solacid-O Suspension Sugar Free reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes which prevents further damage to the ulcer as it heals naturally. You may be given other medicines along with this medicine depending on what caused the ulcer. You need to keep taking Solacid-O Suspension Sugar Free as prescribed by the doctor for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.
