In Treatment of Stomach ulcers
Stomach ulcers are painful sores that develop in the inner lining of the stomach or gut (intestine). Gastromax O Syrup reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes which prevents further damage to the ulcer as it heals naturally. You may be given other medicines along with this medicine depending on what caused the ulcer. You need to keep taking Gastromax O Syrup as prescribed by the doctor for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.
In Treatment of Bloating
Bloating refers to excessive buildup of gas in our stomach due to abnormal muscle movement in our stomach and intestines. Gastromax O Syrup improves the movement of food in the stomach and helps prevent bloating.
You should take it exactly as it is prescribed or as it says on the label for it to be effective. Some simple lifestyle changes can help stop or reduce bloating. Think about what foods trigger bloating and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight and try to find ways to relax. Do not eat within 3 to 4 hours of going to bed.
