Rantac Infant Syrup Mint

Product Introduction
Rantac Infant Syrup Mint is a medication that helps reduce the production of excess acid in the stomach. It is commonly used to manage and prevent conditions like heartburn, acidity, indigestion, reflux disease, stomach ulcers, and certain other acid-related disorders.

Doctors often prescribe this syrup to prevent ulcers or acidity, especially in individuals taking pain-relieving medicines that may irritate the stomach lining. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the medical condition and the patient’s response to the medicine. It is important to follow the doctor’s instructions carefully. Relief from symptoms like acidity and heartburn can often be noticed within a few hours, but in some cases, the medicine may need to be continued for a longer duration to prevent recurrence. Lifestyle changes, such as eating smaller and more frequent meals, and avoiding spicy or oily food, can help enhance the effectiveness of this medicine.

Most people tolerate this syrup well, but a few may experience side effects like mild headache, constipation, diarrhea, or tiredness. These effects are usually temporary and go away on their own. If they persist or become bothersome, it is advisable to consult a doctor.

Before starting the treatment, inform your doctor about any kidney or liver-related problems as it may affect the appropriate dose of the medicine. Also, share details of any other medications you are currently taking to avoid possible interactions. This syrup is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding when taken under medical supervision. Avoid alcohol consumption as it can increase stomach acid and worsen the symptoms.
