ACIGENE TABLET belongs to a group of medicines called antacids used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and stomach upset. The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, the mucous layer gets eroded due to excess acid production, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn. 

ACIGENE TABLET is a combination of four drugs: Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium hydroxide, Magnesium silicate and Simethicone. Aluminium hydroxide,  magnesium hydroxide and magnesium silicate belong to a group of antacids. Aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and magnesium silicate work by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone is anti-flatulent which works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping).

Take ACIGENE TABLET as recommended by your doctor. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as constipation, diarrhoea, dizziness, and drowsiness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Let your doctor know if you are allergic to any of the contents. Do not take ACIGENE TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless recommended by the doctor. ACIGENE TABLET should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with ACIGENE TABLET as it could lead to increased acidity. ACIGENE TABLET may cause dizziness and drowsiness, do not drive or operate machinery unless you are alert. Inform your doctor regarding other medicines you are taking to prevent any side effects/interactions.

It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract. 

• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Dizziness
• Drowsiness

Do not take ACIGENE TABLET if you are allergic to any of its contents, debilitated (very weak) if you have severe stomach pain or a partially or fully blocked bowel. Do not take ACIGENE TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless recommended by the doctor. ACIGENE TABLET should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Inform your doctor before taking ACIGENE TABLET if you have low phosphate levels, high magnesium levels, kidney or liver problems, a low-phosphate diet, or taking antibiotics such as doxycycline, oxytetracycline levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin. Avoid taking foods and drinks containing citrates with ACIGENE TABLET as it might lead to increased serum levels of aluminium which can be harmful.  Avoid consuming alcohol along with ACIGENE TABLET as it could lead to increased acidity. ACIGENE TABLET may cause dizziness and drowsiness; do not drive or operate machinery unless you are alert.

• Eat smaller meals more often.
• Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption. Alcohol intake leads to increased production of stomach acid, thereby increases acidity and heartburn.
• Maintain a healthy weight by regular exercising.
• Avoid lying down after eating to prevent acid reflux.
• Avoid tight-fitting clothes as it might increase the pressure on the abdomen leading to acid reflux.
• Practice relaxation techniques and avoid stress by doing yoga or meditation.
• Avoid foods such as high-fat food, spicy food, chocolates, citrus fruits, pineapple, tomato, onion, garlic, tea and soda.
