Product Use
Peptac Aniseed Liquid contains 3 active ingredients that work together to relieve the symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux. This occurs when stomach acid flows into the food pipe, which can be caused by many different factors and the most common is just after eating. Reflux symptoms can include painful heartburn, indigestion or acid regurgitation.
The active ingredients include sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate and they work together by preventing the acid from flowing back into the foo pipe, but they are not absorbed into the bloodstream. Their effects last for about 3-4 hours on top of the stomach contents and are then broken down in the digestive system.
Instructions
10-20ml after meals and at bedtime
Cautions
Peptac Aniseed Liquid – Antacids reduce the absorption of a number of drugs e.g. ciprofloxacin, some tetracyclines. The administration times should be separated by 1 to 2 hours to minimise the effect. Similarly, the administration times of an antacid and enteric coated tablets should be separated so that that the pH-sensitive coating is not destroyed in the stomach. This medicine is not to be used for long periods of time, as it may cause more adverse effects.
