Diovolla Syrup

Introduction

Diovolla is a prescription medication that combines the active ingredients Oxetacaine, Aluminium Hydroxide, Magnesium, and Simethicone. It is commonly known by its generic name and brand name, Diovolla. This medication is primarily used to provide relief from symptoms associated with indigestion, including heartburn, acidity, and gas.

Uses

Diovolla is prescribed for the treatment of various conditions related to indigestion. It helps alleviate symptoms such as heartburn, acidity, and gas by neutralizing excess stomach acid and reducing the production of gas in the digestive system. This medication provides temporary relief and is not intended for long-term use or as a cure for underlying digestive disorders.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Diovolla may vary depending on the severity of symptoms and the individual’s medical history. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Generally, the syrup is taken orally and may be taken before or after meals. Shake the bottle well before each use and use the measuring device provided to ensure accurate dosing.

Mechanism of Action

Diovolla contains four active ingredients that work together to provide relief from indigestion symptoms. Oxetacaine is a local anesthetic that helps to numb the affected area, providing quick relief from pain and discomfort. Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium are antacids that neutralize excess stomach acid, reducing the acidity that causes heartburn. Simethicone helps to break down gas bubbles in the digestive system, relieving bloating and flatulence.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include constipation or diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramps. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, consult your healthcare professional.

Drug Interactions

Diovolla may interact with certain medications, including antibiotics, anticoagulants, and antacids containing calcium. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential interactions. They can provide guidance on the appropriate use of this medication in conjunction with other treatments.
