About Algiduo Oral Suspension

Algiduo Oral Suspension belongs to the class of 'gastrointestinal agents,' primarily used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease, heartburn, and acidity. It helps relieve symptoms of indigestion and gastrointestinal distress. Indigestion is the inability to digest food, which is associated with pain and discomfort in the stomach.

Algiduo Oral Suspension contains Calcium carbonate, Sodium alginate, and Sodium bicarbonate. Calcium carbonate is an antacid that works by decreasing the amount of acid in the stomach. Sodium alginate forms a viscous gel by reacting with stomach acid. This gel floats on the surface of stomach contents and acts as a blockade to reduce reflux. Sodium bicarbonate is also an antacid and has an alkaline pH, which helps neutralise the acidic pH in the stomach.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your medical condition. Common side effects of Algiduo Oral Suspension include flatulence, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting. These side effects may not occur in every patient using this medication and differ individually. If the side effects persist longer or worsen, please seek a doctor's advice.

Before using Algiduo Oral Suspension , let your doctor know if you have liver, kidney, heart diseases, or any other medical history. Please inform your doctor beforehand if you have high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, oedema, hypercalcaemia (excess calcium levels in the blood), nephrocalcinosis (excess calcium deposition in the kidneys), and kidney stones. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Algiduo Oral Suspension with proper consultation and caution. Avoid alcohol intake while using Algiduo Oral Suspension since it can increase acid production in the stomach.
