Gascol Suspension (Pink) – Fast Relief for Heartburn, Gas & Indigestion
Gascol Suspension (Pink) is a trusted dual-action antacid and anti-flatulent medicine manufactured in Nigeria by Fidson Healthcare PLC. This strawberry-flavored variant is specially formulated to provide "sharp" and fast relief from stomach acidity, bloating, and trapped gas.
What is Gascol Used For?
Gascol is a reliable solution for many Nigerians dealing with gastrointestinal discomfort. It is highly effective for:
- Heartburn and Acid Indigestion: Neutralizes stomach acid almost immediately after ingestion.
- Bloating and Flatulence (Gas): Contains Simethicone, which helps break down gas bubbles for easy expulsion.
- Ulcer Relief: If you are searching for "Gascol for ulcer," it is important to know that it provides soothing relief from the burning pain associated with peptic ulcers by neutralizing acid, though it is not a cure.
- GERD: Helps manage the "acid reflux" or "pepperish" sensation in the chest and throat.
Active Ingredients
Every 5ml of Gascol Suspension contains:
- Magaldrate (540mg): A potent magnesium-aluminum complex that raises gastric pH to stop the burn.
- Simethicone (100mg): A reliable anti-foaming agent for gas relief.
Gascol Dosage and How to Use
For best results, shake the bottle well before each use.
- Adults: Take 1 to 2 teaspoons (5ml – 10ml) between meals and at bedtime.
- Gascol for Children: While many use the strawberry flavor for kids, you should always consult a doctor or a GoMed pharmacist before giving Gascol to children to ensure correct dosing and safety.
Side Effects and Safety
Gascol is generally well-tolerated, but some may experience minor changes in bowel movements. Regarding Gascol in pregnancy, while antacids are common for heartburn relief, we recommend you consult your doctor or a GoMed pharmacist before use to ensure it is right for you.
