FRITZU ORAL SUSPENSION

Antacid Medication | 20 Sachets

Fritzu Oral Suspension is an antacid preparation containing a combination of Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium Hydroxide, formulated to provide relief from heartburn, acid indigestion, and symptoms associated with excess gastric acid.

The combination works by neutralizing excess stomach acid. Aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide complement each other to provide effective acid-neutralizing activity and help relieve acid-related gastric discomfort.

Composition

Each 4.3 ml sachet contains:

• Aluminium Hydroxide: 460 mg (as Aluminium Hydroxide Gel).
  • Each 1 mg of dried aluminium hydroxide gel contains 0.765 mg of aluminium hydroxide.
• Magnesium Hydroxide: 400 mg (as Magnesium Hydroxide Gel).

Pack size: 20 sachets.

Indications & Benefits

• Heartburn Relief: Helps neutralize excess stomach acid and relieve the burning sensation associated with heartburn.
• Acid Indigestion: Helps relieve discomfort caused by excessive gastric acidity.
• Acid Reflux Symptoms: Provides symptomatic relief from acid-related irritation and burning associated with gastric reflux.
• Gastric Discomfort: Helps alleviate stomach discomfort associated with hyperacidity.
• Acid Neutralization: Combines two antacid ingredients to reduce gastric acidity and provide symptomatic relief.

According to the product packaging:

• Usual Dose: 1–2 sachets when heartburn or acid reflux symptoms occur.

  • Carefully mix the sachet before opening.
  • Drink the suspension directly without diluting it.
  • Follow the recommended dosage and do not exceed the maximum daily dose.

Precautions & Warnings

• Kidney Disease: Patients with impaired kidney function should consult a healthcare professional before use, as aluminium and magnesium may accumulate in the body.
• Drug Interactions: Antacids may interfere with the absorption of certain medications, including antibiotics, iron supplements, levothyroxine, and other medicines. Generally, other medications should be taken at least 2–4 hours apart, depending on the medication.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Prolonged Use: Avoid prolonged or excessive use without medical supervision. Persistent or recurrent heartburn requires medical evaluation.
• Children: Use in children should be based on medical advice and an appropriate age-specific dosage.
• Avoid use in individuals with known hypersensitivity to either active ingredient.

Possible Side Effects

Although generally well tolerated when used as directed, possible side effects include:

• Constipation: May occur due to the aluminium hydroxide component.
• Diarrhea: May occur due to the magnesium hydroxide component.

• Abdominal cramps.

The combination of aluminium and magnesium hydroxide may help balance their opposing effects on bowel movements, although digestive side effects can still occur.
