FAQs

I am experiencing nausea and extreme tiredness. Is this due to Acabrunat Capsule?

Nausea and fatigue or tiredness are some of the common side effects of Acabrunat Capsule. Eat smaller, more frequent meals to reduce the feeling of nausea. Avoid salty, spicy, fried, or fatty food items. Take plenty of rest and do light exercise daily to keep yourself active and reduce fatigue.

How to get relief from diarrhea while on treatment with Acabrunat Capsule?

Food items with soluble fiber can help relieve diarrhea as they help absorb excess fluid from the body. These food items include bananas (ripe), oranges, boiled potatoes, white rice, curd, and oatmeal. Diarrhea can cause dehydration in the body, so drink 8-10 glasses of water to avoid dehydration. You can also have soup and juice frequently to hydrate yourself.

I have noticed some changes in my skin after taking Acabrunat Capsule? What should I do?

Use a moisturizer to get relief from rashes and dry and itchy skin. Avoid direct sunlight, wear protective clothing, and use sunscreen (SPF of more than 15) whenever you step outdoors. Do not go swimming if you have a rash because the chlorine in the water can make it worse. Avoid hot water baths and wear loose and cotton fabric clothes. Your skin will tend to become better once treatment is stopped.

Why am I experiencing bleeding from my gums after brushing my teeth?

You may experience bleeding from gums due to a drop in the number of platelets (blood cells) in your blood. These blood cells help the blood clot when we bruise ourselves.
