Alox Suspension Saunf

Introduction

Alox Saunf is a prescription medication that combines three active ingredients: Aluminium Hydroxide, Dimethicone, and Milk Of Magnesia. It is commonly used to provide relief from various gastrointestinal conditions.

Uses

Alox Saunf is primarily prescribed to alleviate symptoms associated with acid indigestion, heartburn, and stomach ulcers. It works by neutralizing excess stomach acid and forming a protective coating on the lining of the stomach and esophagus.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Alox Saunf may vary depending on the severity of the symptoms and the individual patient. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional or as indicated on the product label.

To take Alox Saunf, shake the bottle well before each use. Measure the prescribed amount using the provided measuring cup or spoon. It is typically taken orally, either with or without food. If you are unsure about the appropriate dosage or administration method, consult your healthcare provider.

Mechanism of Action

Alox Saunf contains three active ingredients that work together to provide relief from gastrointestinal symptoms. Aluminium Hydroxide acts as an antacid, neutralizing excess stomach acid. Dimethicone helps to reduce gas and bloating by breaking up bubbles in the digestive system. Milk Of Magnesia, also known as magnesium hydroxide, acts as an osmotic laxative, helping to relieve constipation.

Side Effects

Common side effects can include diarrhea, constipation, stomach cramps, and nausea. These side effects are generally mild and should subside as your body adjusts to the medication. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult your healthcare provider.

In rare cases, more serious side effects may occur. These can include allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Alox Saunf may interact with certain medications, potentially affecting their effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.
