About Duogel Syrup

DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE belongs to a group of medicines called gastrointestinal agents used to treat acidity, heartburn and gas. The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn. Bloating occurs when the abdomen is filled with gas or air.
 
DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE is a combination of three drugs: Domperidone (prokinetic), Magaldrate (antacid), and Simethicone (anti-flatulent). Domperidone allows the food to move easily by increasing the movements of the stomach and intestine. Magaldrate works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone works by lowering the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract. Together, DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE helps in treating acidity, heartburn and gas.
 
Take DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE as prescribed. You are advised to take DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as constipation, diarrhoea, bad taste, and dry mouth. 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.
 
Avoid taking aluminium and magnesium-containing antacids with DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE. Aluminium-containing antacids along with DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE could lead to constipation and intestinal obstruction, whereas magnesium-containing antacids might cause diarrhoea. Do not take DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed by the doctor. DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE may cause sleepiness, so drive with caution. DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE is not recommended for use in children. Avoid consuming alcohol along with DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE as it could lead to increased acidity.
