Do not eat within 3 to 4 hours of going to bed.

In Stomach ulcers

Stomach ulcers are painful sores that develop in the inner lining of the stomach or gut (intestine). Raycid-O Oral Suspension Mint reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes which prevents further damage to the ulcer as it heals naturally. You may be given other medicines along with this medicine depending on what caused the ulcer. You need to keep taking Raycid-O Oral Suspension Mint as prescribed by the doctor for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.
