Scarfate O Syrup

Scarfate O Syrup is a combination medicine that helps treat acidity, heartburn, and stomach ulcers. It works by reducing excess acid in the stomach, easing irritation and discomfort, and protecting the stomach lining. The syrup also helps relieve pain and allows gas to pass more easily.

You should take Scarfate O Syrup on an empty stomach as directed by your doctor. The exact dosage and duration depend on your medical condition and how you respond to the treatment. Continue using the syrup for as long as your doctor recommends. Stopping it too soon may cause your symptoms to return. Inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking, as they may interact with this syrup. Avoid using it longer than advised, since extended use might have unwanted effects.

Common side effects may include constipation, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, trouble sleeping, and mild allergic reactions. These effects are usually temporary and disappear on their own. If they persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor. To manage constipation, drink plenty of water and include fiber-rich foods in your diet. The medicine can cause dizziness or drowsiness, so avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. Refrain from alcohol consumption while taking it, as it may increase sleepiness. Lifestyle adjustments such as drinking cold milk and avoiding spicy food, tea, coffee, and chocolate can help improve results.

Before using this syrup, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding. Also, let your doctor know if you have any liver or kidney problems so they can adjust your dosage accordingly.
