1. What is AcidOff?
AcidOff is a sugar-free herbal
antacid syrup formulated with cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, valerian and fennel.
It is designed to provide cooling, short-term relief from indigestion,
heartburn, bloating, flatulence and gastric discomfort.
2. Who may benefit from taking AcidOff?
Adults and children aged 6 to
12 years experiencing occasional indigestion, heartburn, bloating, gas or
post-meal discomfort may benefit when the syrup is used according to the label
directions. Persistent or severe symptoms require medical advice.
3. How should I take it?
Children aged 6 to 12 years may
take 1 teaspoon (5 ml), 1 to 2 times daily. Adults may take 2 to 3 teaspoons
(10 to 15 ml), twice daily. Use after meals or as prescribed by a physician,
and shake well before use.
4. Can AcidOff replace a healthy diet or medical treatment?
No. AcidOff is intended for
occasional symptom relief and should not replace a balanced diet, healthy
lifestyle, medical assessment or prescribed treatment. Regularly recurring
indigestion or heartburn may have an underlying cause that requires evaluation.
5. Can men and women both use it?
Yes, AcidOff may be used by
adult men and women according to the recommended dosage. Anyone who is
pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or living with a medical condition
should consult a healthcare professional before use.
6. Can I take it with other medicines?
Ask a doctor or pharmacist
before combining AcidOff with other medicines. As a precaution, leave a 2 to 4
hour gap between an antacid product and other oral medicines unless a
healthcare professional advises otherwise. Herbal ingredients may also interact
with some medicines.
7. Can children take AcidOff?
The pack provides a dosage for
children aged 6 to 12 years: 1 teaspoon (5 ml), 1 to 2 times daily. Do not give
it to a child under 6 years unless specifically advised by a doctor, and never
exceed the labelled dose.
8. Is AcidOff suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Seek advice from a doctor or
pharmacist before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Because the formula
contains several herbal ingredients, including valerian, suitability should be
assessed individually by a healthcare professional.
9. Can AcidOff cause drowsiness?
The formula contains valerian,
which may cause drowsiness or mental dullness in some people. Avoid alcohol and
sedative medicines, and do not drive or operate machinery if you feel sleepy or
less alert after taking it.
10. How long can I use AcidOff?
Use AcidOff for occasional,
short-term relief according to the directions. Speak to a doctor if you need it
regularly or if symptoms persist, worsen or repeatedly return. Seek prompt
medical advice for severe pain, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss,
repeated vomiting, or blood in vomit or stool.
