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). Rhocid Oral Suspension Sugar Free reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes which prevents further damage to the ulcer as it heals naturally.
