Famogreat D 10mg/20mg Tablet

Prescription Required

Product introduction

Famogreat D 10mg/20mg Tablet is used to treat acidity and heartburn. It acts on digestive tract to increase the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily. It also reduces the amount of acid in the stomach which helps to relieve acidity, indigestion, and heartburn.

Famogreat D 10mg/20mg Tablet is taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The dose you are given will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. You should keep taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop treatment too early your symptoms may come back and your condition may worsen. Let your healthcare team know about all other medications you are taking as some may affect, or be affected by this medicine.

Common side effects of this medicine include headache, constipation, diarrhea, and dryness in the mouth. These are usually mild and disappear after a short time. Consult your doctor if they persist. To overcome constipation, you should add fibre-rich foods in your diet and stay hydrated. It may also cause dizziness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine as it can worsen your dizziness.

Before taking the medicine always consult your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or if you are suffering from any severe stomach, liver, kidney disease, or any known disease. Lifestyle modifications like having cold milk and avoiding hot tea, coffee, spicy food or chocolate can help you to get better results.
