Description

Care Heartburn Relief Oral Suspension

Care Heartburn Relief Oral Suspension provides relief from occasional heartburn and acid indigestion in adults (including pregnant and breastfeeding women) and children aged 12 years and over. It alleviates the painful conditions resulting from the reflux of gastric acid and bile into the oesophagus by suppressing the reflux itself. It belongs to a group of medicines called 'reflux suppressants' which form a protective layer on top of the stomach contents to prevent stomach acid escaping from the stomach where it works into the food pipe causing pain and discomfort.

Care Heartburn Relief Oral Suspension is sugar free and gluten free. 

Directions

Adults and children over 12 years: Take 10-20 ml (two to four 5 ml spoonfuls) after meals and at bedtime, up to four times a day. 

Ingredients

  • Active Ingredients (per 5ml): Sodium Bicarbonate 133.5mg, Sodium Alginate 250mg, Calcium Carbonate 80mg. 
  • Other Ingredients: Carbomer, sodium hydroxide, saccharin sodium, ethyl parahydroxybenzoate (E214), propyl parahydroxybenzoate (E216), butyl parahydroxybenzoate, isopropyl alcohol, peppermint oil, purified water.

Cautions

  • This medicine contains 286.5mg (12.45mmol) sodium (main component of cooking/table salt) in each 20ml dose. This is equivalent to 14.3% of the recommended maximum daily dietary intake of sodium for an adult. The maximum daily dose of this product is equivalent to 57.2% of the WHO recommended maximum daily intake for sodium. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you need this product on a daily basis for a prolonged period, especially if you have been advised to follow a low salt (sodium) diet.
  • Care Heartburn Relief Oral Suspension contains ethyl parahydroxybenzoate (E214), propyl parahydroxybenzoate (E216) and butyl parahydroxybenzoate which may cause an allergic reaction (possibly delayed).
  • Do not take this product within two hours of taking other medicines by mouth as it can interfere with the action of some other medicines. This is especially important if you are taking antibiotics (tetracyclines and quinolones such as norfloxacin), iron preparations, antifungals such as ketoconazole, digoxin and beta blockers (for heart conditions), penicillamine (for rheumatoid arthritis), glucocorticoids (for inflammatory and autoimmune disorders), neuroleptics (for mental illness), thyroid hormones, chloroquine (for malaria), estramustine (for prostate cancer), bisphosphonates (for osteoporosis), ACE inhibitors (for high blood
