Indigestion & HeartburnIn stockBuy it Now£6.49What is Peptac Antacid 500ml?
Peptac Aniseed Liquid contains 3 active ingredients that work together to relieve the symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux.

The active ingredients include sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate and they work together by preventing the acid from flowing back into the food pipe, but they are not absorbed into the bloodstream. Their effects last for about 3-4 hours on top of the stomach contents and are then broken down in the digestive system.

For children aged 6-12, give them one or two 5ml spoonfuls after dinner time, or at bedtime, up to four times every day. For children over 12 and adults, double the dose up to four times every day.

Silicol Gel - 200ml
IBSIn stockMore InformationWhat is Silicol Gel
Silicolgel contains silicic acid, a compound of the mineral substance silicon and oxygen in a colloidal (highly dispersible) and hydrated form. Silicon is the second most abundant element on Earth, after oxygen. It is found in nature as silicon dioxide and in the hydrated or aqueous form as silicic acid.
Gastrointestinal disorders are usually caused by irritants and by harmful and toxic substances and pathogens. When the gastrointestinal tract is disturbed by such toxic substances and pathogens, it cannot function normally, which may lead to physical discomfort.
The advantage of Silicolgel exists in silicic acid's large and highly reactive surface. When taken internally, it forms a protective and soothing coating over the lining of the stomach and intestines.
How to take Silicol Gel
Take Silicolgel at least 1 hour before or after the intake of medicines.
Take one tablespoonful (15 ml) of Silicolgel thrice daily, preferably before meals.
Silicolgel can be taken either undiluted or diluted with water. After acute symptoms ease, treatment with Silicolgel can continue for another few days.
If the symptoms have not reduced after three days, consult a medical doctor.
With diarrhoea, it is necessary to replace lost fluids.
What does Silicol Gel contain
3.5 g Silicon Dioxide in 100 ml Silicic Acid gel.
Preservatives: Sorbic Acid (E 200), Sodium Benzoate (E 211).
