Peptac Liquid is primarily used for the relief of symptoms associated with indigestion and heartburn. This includes a burning sensation in the chest, acid reflux, and uncomfortable fullness or bloating.
Peptac Liquid contains active ingredients that work in two ways. Firstly, it acts as an antacid to neutralise excess stomach acid. Secondly, it forms a protective raft on top of the stomach contents, which helps to prevent acid from rising into the oesophagus, thus reducing heartburn and acid reflux.
Peptac Liquid is commonly available in two main flavours: Peppermint and Aniseed. Both formulations offer the same effective relief for indigestion and heartburn, allowing you to choose based on your preference.
Peptac Liquid is generally suitable for adults and children over a certain age. However, it's always important to read the product leaflet carefully or consult with a pharmacist if you have any pre-existing conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking other remedies, to ensure it is suitable for your individual needs.
Like all medicines, Peptac Liquid can cause side effects, though not everybody gets them. Common side effects may include constipation, diarrhoea, or stomach cramps. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, discontinue use and consult your doctor or a Weldricks pharmacist. Always refer to the patient information leaflet for a comprehensive list of side effects.
Peptac Liquid is generally intended for short-term relief of indigestion and heartburn. If your symptoms persist for more than 7 days, or worsen, you should consult your doctor or a Weldricks pharmacist. Long-term use should always be discussed with a healthcare professional.
It is generally recommended to avoid drinking large amounts of water immediately after taking Peptac Liquid. This is because water can dilute the product and reduce its effectiveness in forming a protective layer over your stomach contents. It's best to wait at least 20-30 minutes before drinking anything.
The recommended dose for Peptac Liquid can vary depending on age and individual needs. For adults and children over 12 years, the typical dose is 10-20ml (one to two 5ml spoonfuls) after meals and at bedtime. Always follow the dosage instructions on the product packaging or as advised by your doctor or a Weldricks pharmacist. Do not exceed the stated dose.
Both Peptac Liquid and Gaviscon are antacid and reflux suppressant products used to treat indigestion and heartburn. They work in similar ways by neutralising stomach acid and forming a protective layer. The choice between them often comes down to personal preference for taste or minor differences in their active ingredients and formulations. If you are unsure which is best for your symptoms, please speak to a Weldricks pharmacist.
