Pan Rft Mint Flavour Sugar Free Bottle Of 200ml Suspension

Pan Rft suspension is a medication used to treat acidity and indigestion, providing quick and lasting relief from symptoms like heartburn, bloating, and belching. This medication works by neutralizing stomach acid, which helps to alleviate abdominal pain and stomach discomfort. It is essential to shake the bottle well before each use.

The key ingredients in Pan Rft suspension include sodium alginate, calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. Sodium alginate forms a thick, gel-like layer in your stomach. Calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate react with your stomach acid to produce carbon dioxide bubbles.

This reaction allows the gel to create a strong protective barrier over your stomach contents, preventing stomach acid from flowing back into your oesophagus. This barrier acts like a raft, effectively holding the stomach acid down and providing relief. This medication is generally considered suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, with a low risk to the developing baby.

Consult your doctor before taking any new medication, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. When taking Pan Rft suspension, you should be aware of a few important considerations. If you are on a low-sodium diet, have too much calcium in your blood (hypercalcaemia), or have a history of calcium-containing kidney stones, you should avoid this medication.

It is also important to maintain a two-hour time interval between taking Pan Rft suspension and other medications.

Dosage

Overdose

If you accidentally take too much of this medicine, it is usually not a major concern. However, if it causes discomfort, please consult your doctor.

Missed a Dose

Do not take an extra dose of Pan Rft suspension. If you have missed the previous dose, just take your next scheduled one.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Pan Rft suspension works by neutralizing stomach acid, which helps reduce abdominal pain and discomfort. When gastric acid exists, substances like alginate turn bicarbonate into carbon dioxide. This gas gets trapped in a gel, creating a foam that floats above the stomach contents, similar to a raft on water. These foam rafts hold carbon dioxide and some antacid ingredients, forming a barrier that does not significantly alter stomach acidity.

Directions for Use

For adults, elderly individuals, and children aged 12 and above, 10-20 ml of this liquid is recommended after meals and at bedtime or as directed by a doctor. However, children under 12 should only take it under medical supervision. Always remember to shake the bottle well before use.
