DESCRIPTION

Jancid Gel (Hydroxide Gel 250 mg + Magnesium Hydroxide 250 mg + Activated Dimethicone 50 mg + Sorbitol Solution 70% 0.65 gm) (Sugar-Free) is a combination gel used to relieve symptoms associated with indigestion, bloating, constipation, and heartburn. The magnesium hydroxide (250 mg) acts both as an antacid to neutralize excess stomach acid and as a laxative to relieve constipation by drawing water into the intestines. The addition of hydroxide gel enhances the antacid effect, providing fast relief from acid reflux and heartburn. Activated dimethicone (50 mg) helps reduce bloating and discomfort by breaking down gas bubbles in the digestive tract, easing the passage of trapped gas. Sorbitol solution (0.65 gm) serves as a mild laxative, drawing water into the colon to stimulate bowel movements, and it also contributes to the gel’s consistency. This formulation is sugar-free, making it suitable for individuals with diabetes or those avoiding sugar for other health reasons. Overall, this gel provides comprehensive relief for multiple digestive issues, including acid indigestion, bloating, and constipation, while being gentle on the stomach and intestines.

Gastrointestinal Disturbances: Jancid Gel (Hydroxide Gel 250 mg + Magnesium Hydroxide 250 mg + Activated Dimethicone 50 mg + Sorbitol Solution 70% 0.65 gm) provides combined relief from multiple digestive issues, including indigestion, bloating, and constipation, in one formulation.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Magnesium Hydroxide (250 mg): Magnesium hydroxide functions primarily as an antacid and laxative. As an antacid, it neutralizes excess stomach acid by reacting with hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach to form water and other neutral compounds, reducing symptoms of acid reflux, heartburn, and indigestion. As a laxative, magnesium hydroxide draws water into the intestines through osmosis, softening the stool and stimulating bowel movements to relieve constipation.

Hydroxide Gel (250 mg): The hydroxide gel further enhances the antacid effect, working in tandem with magnesium hydroxide to increase the pH of stomach acid, reducing irritation in the stomach lining and providing faster relief from acid indigestion and reflux.

Activated Dimethicone (50 mg): Dimethicone acts as an anti-foaming agent. It reduces bloating and flatulence by breaking down gas bubbles in the digestive tract. The gas bubbles are destabilized, allowing them to merge and be expelled more easily, thereby reducing the feeling of fullness and discomfort caused by trapped gas.

Sorbitol Solution (0.65 gm): Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol that acts as a mild osmotic laxative. It draws water into the colon, which helps soften stools and promotes bowel movement. Sorbitol also helps to increase the volume of stool, which can relieve constipation. Additionally, as a sugar-free substance, it provides a suitable alternative for people with diabetes or those looking to avoid sugar.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Drug-Drug Interaction: Jancid Gel (Hydroxide Gel 250 mg + Magnesium Hydroxide 250 mg + Activated Dimethicone 50 mg + Sorbitol Solution 70% 0.65 gm) (Sugar-Free) may have interaction with pain killers (aspirin), antibiotics (ciprofloxacin), anti-asthma (albuterol, ipratropium), anti-diabetic (glipizide), and vitamins (ascorbic acid, cholecalciferol).

Drug-Food Interaction: Avoid alcohol intake as it leads to increased stomach acid production, thereby increasing acidity and heartburn.

Drug-Disease Interaction: Jancid Gel (Hydroxide Gel 250 mg + Magnesium Hydroxide 250 mg + Activated Dimethicone 50 mg + Sorbitol Solution 70% 0.65 gm) (Sugar-Free) may interact with conditions such as constipation, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal obstruction disorder, and renal dysfunction.

PRECAUTION

Jancid Gel (Hydroxide Gel 250 mg + Magnesium Hydroxide 250 mg + Activated Dimethicone 50 mg + Sorbitol Solution 70% 0.65 gm) should be used with caution in individuals with renal impairment, as magnesium hydroxide can accumulate in the body, leading to electrolyte imbalances or toxicity. Prolonged use or excessive doses may cause diarrhea, dehydration, and abdominal discomfort. It should also be avoided or used cautiously in patients with gastrointestinal obstruction or inflammatory bowel disease. Since sorbitol can cause gas or bloating, it should be used carefully in individuals with sensitive digestive systems.
