Description
Trade name:
Glycodal
Compound:
Each tablet contains:
Calcium carbonate – 420 mg.
Glycine – 180 mg.
Dimethicone – 10 mg.
Properties:
The drug combines the most effective, fast and powerful non-systemic antacid with a long-lasting high neutralizing capacity (calcium carbonate) together with glycine, a buffering amino acid that modifies the action of calcium carbonate in the direction of a more controlled neutralization. Glycine supplements protein intake, which promotes the healing of wounds of any type. Dimethicone is used in the treatment of flatulence and for the removal of gases and air from the gastrointestinal tract. Neutralization of gastric contents involves the formation of calcium chloride, in which part of the calcium is absorbed from the intestine and about 80% is converted into insoluble calcium carbonate, which is excreted with feces.
Indications:
For the treatment of flatulence, heartburn, hyperacidity and bloating.
Method of administration and dosage:
1-2 tablets should be chewed after or between meals and repeated if necessary every 4-6 hours or as directed by a physician.
Contraindications:
Hypercalcemia and hyperparathyroidism. Hypercalciuria and nephrolithiasis. Concomitant therapy with digoxin (requires careful monitoring of serum calcium levels).
Precautionary measures.
Breastfeeding: The use of calcium carbonate is contraindicated in lactating women.
Pregnancy: Calcium-containing preparations are widely used during pregnancy through oral calcium supplementation or antacid therapy.
Drug interactions: Digoxin: Calcium carbonate and other calcium salts may enhance the cardiac effects of digoxin and other cardiac glycosides if systemic hypercalcemia occurs. Tetracyclines: Calcium carbonate and other antacids may interfere with the absorption of tetracycline-containing drugs.
Side effects:
Constipation, hypercalcemia, milk-alkali syndrome and sour regurgitation.
Storage method:
Store at a temperature not exceeding 25 degrees in a dry place, protected from light and out of reach of children.
Package:
The package contains 3 blisters of 10 tablets and paper instructions.
