D O Zol Syrup

Introduction

D O Zol is a medication that combines the active ingredients Oxetacaine, Aluminium Hydroxide, and Magnesium. It is available in the form of a syrup and is primarily used to provide relief from symptoms associated with gastrointestinal disorders, such as heartburn, indigestion, and stomach ulcers.

Uses

D O Zol is commonly prescribed to alleviate the discomfort caused by conditions such as acid reflux, gastritis, and peptic ulcers. It works by neutralizing excess stomach acid and providing a protective coating to the stomach lining, thereby reducing inflammation and relieving symptoms related to digestive disturbances.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of D O Zol may vary depending on the severity of the symptoms and the individual’s medical condition. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional or refer to the product label for specific dosing information.

Typically, the syrup is taken orally before or after meals. Shake the bottle well before use to ensure an even distribution of the active ingredients. Use the provided measuring device to accurately measure the prescribed dose. Avoid exceeding the recommended dosage and to adhere to the prescribed schedule.

Mechanism of Action

D O Zol contains three active ingredients: Oxetacaine, Aluminium Hydroxide, and Magnesium.

• Oxetacaine is a local anesthetic that helps to relieve pain and discomfort associated with gastrointestinal conditions.
• Aluminium Hydroxide acts as an antacid, neutralizing excess stomach acid and reducing acidity levels in the stomach.
• Magnesium also works as an antacid, aiding in the neutralization of stomach acid and providing relief from symptoms such as heartburn.

Together, these active ingredients work synergistically to alleviate the symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include mild gastrointestinal disturbances such as constipation or diarrhea. These side effects are usually temporary and subside as your body adjusts to the medication.

However, if you experience any serious side effects such as allergic reactions (e.g., difficulty breathing, rash, swelling), severe abdominal pain, or black stools, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

D O Zol may interact with certain medications and substances. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal products, that you are currently taking.

Some medications, such as certain antibiotics or antifungal agents, may interfere with the absorption or effectiveness of D O Zol. Additionally, note that the antacid properties of Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium may affect the absorption of other medications. Your healthcare professional can provide guidance on how to manage these interactions and adjust your medication regimen if necessary.

Precautions

Before using D O Zol, inform your healthcare professional about any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, or sensitivities you may have. This will help ensure the medication is safe and suitable for you.
