Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

The stomach produces acid to digest food. When this acid is produced in excess, it can lead to acidity, heartburn and ulcers. Saintec Plus Forte 150mg Tablets works by blocking the secretion of gastric acid and thereby reduces the amount of acid present in the stomach. This helps in the relief of acid concerned indigestion and heartburn.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is acid reflux?

There is a valve-like structure called the sphincter between the food pipe and stomach. This valve prevents the acid and the food in your stomach from coming back into the food pipe. When this valve is weak or damaged, acid starts entering the stomach causing heartburn, difficulty in swallowing and food regurgitation.

Can I reduce my acidity problem by changing my lifestyle habits?

Yes, you can control acidity problem by incorporating certain lifestyle modifications. Eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day, avoid lying down for 1 hour after a meal. Wear loose-fitting clothing to avoid pressure on your abdomen.
Avoid sugary drinks, processed food, meat, sodas, a high protein diet. Limit alcohol consumption and quit smoking.
Consult your doctor for more personalised information on diet and lifestyle modifications.

How long should I take the Saintec Plus Forte 150mg Tablets ?

Use it only for the duration as prescribed by your doctor. Prolonged use is not recommended.

When should I take the Saintec Plus Forte 150mg Tablets ?

Take it exactly as told by your treating doctor. It should preferably be taken after having your meal.

Can smoking and alcohol increase acidity and GERD?

Yes, both cause an increase in acidity. Smoking also relaxes a valve present between the food pipe and stomach. This leads to stomach acid coming back upwards in the food pipe. This worsens reflux/ GERD disorders.
