FAQs

Diovol-LA Forte SF Mint Flavour Suspension consists of dried aluminium hydroxide (antacid), magnesium hydroxide (antacid), sorbitol, and activated dimethicone (antiflatulent). Dried Aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Activated dimethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract. Sorbitol is a laxative and helps to relieve constipation.

Do not take Diovol-LA Forte SF Mint Flavour Suspension for longer durations unless advised by the doctor. Talk to your doctor if you do not feel better even after taking Diovol-LA Forte SF Mint Flavour Suspension for 1-2weeks.

Diarrhoea might be a side-effect of Diovol-LA Forte SF Mint Flavour Suspension . Drink lots of fluids and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you have severe diarrhoea, consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

Avoid lying down immediately after meals to prevent acidity. Raise the head of the bed 10-20cm by putting on a pillow so that the head and chest are above the waist. This prevents acid reflux.

Diovol-LA Forte SF Mint Flavour Suspension should not be taken along with other medicines as it might affect how other medicines work. To prevent this, maintain a minimum gap of two to four hours between Diovol-LA Forte SF Mint Flavour Suspension and other medications.

About Diovol-LA Forte SF Mint Flavour Suspension

Diovol-LA Forte SF Mint Flavour Suspension belongs to a group of medicines called antacids used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and stomach upset. The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn.

Diovol-LA Forte SF Mint Flavour Suspension contains Dried Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium hydroxide, Activated dimethicone, and Sorbitol. Dried Aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Activated dimethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract. Sorbitol is a laxative with a diuretic (urine producing) and cathartic (that stimulates defecation) properties.

You are advised to take Diovol-LA Forte SF Mint Flavour Suspension for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as constipation, loss of appetite, weakness and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
