Uses / Indications:
Powder for Digene Fizz Lemon is used to quickly relieve:
Heartburn and acidity
Gas, bloating, and flatulence
Indigestion or acid reflux
Stomach pain after eating a lot
Nausea caused by too much acid
It is a drug that helps with symptoms, not a long-term cure for chronic acid problems.
Pregnancy interaction:
The safety of Digene Fizz Powder Lemon during pregnancy is not definitively proven.
It is usually okay to use it every now and then with a doctor's supervision.
Risks: If you take too much antacid salts, they can mess up your electrolyte balance. They can also make it harder for your body to absorb iron from prenatal supplements.
Warning:
Always talk to your obstetrician before using.
Use only when absolutely necessary, not every day or for a long time.
Take it at least an hour before or two to three hours after taking prenatal vitamins or iron tablets.
Breastfeeding: There isn't a lot of information, but it's usually okay to use it now and then because it doesn't absorb much.
Expert advice:
Use it every now and again, not all the time.
Try making changes to your lifestyle, such not eating hot or fatty foods, eating small meals often, and not lying down right after eating.
Most adults can use it safely, but if you have kidney illness, high blood pressure, or are pregnant, talk to your doctor first.
Do not take more than the suggested dose.
If you get acid reflux more than two or three times a week, see a gastroenterologist.
Side Effects:
Mostly mild and not common when used occasionally:
Bloating or burping (from fizzing)
Constipation or diarrhea, depending on the salts used
Nausea or pains in the stomach
Overuse: an imbalance of electrolytes (for example, too much sodium and not enough phosphate)
If used often, people with kidney problems are at risk of hypermagnesemia or hypernatremia.
If you get a rash, swelling, severe abdominal pain, or vomiting that won't stop, see a doctor.
How to use:
Pour one sachet into about 15 mL of cold water (a tiny glass).
Let it bubble, stir it, and drink it right away.
Use as needed when you have symptoms.
If you have to do it again, wait at least 2–3 hours.
Do not take more than the daily dose listed on the package (typically 4–5 sachets in 24 hours).
If your symptoms don't go away or get worse, see a doctor instead of treating yourself.
How it works:
It has antacid salts in it, like sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, and other neutralizers.
When mixed with water, it makes bubbles of CO₂ that make a "fizz." This helps it spread quickly in the stomach.
Neutralizes too much stomach acid, which raises the pH and stops burning and irritation.
The fizzing sensation may also aid with gas and bloating.
Instead of being absorbed into the body as a whole, it works in the stomach.

A3. Yes, but make sure there is at least a 2–3 hour break between them so that iron and calcium can be absorbed properly.
Q4. How quickly does it work?
A4. The fizz effect happens quickly, thus relief is frequently felt within minutes.

Medicine interaction:
Could lower the absorption of:
Iron supplements (iron for pregnant women)

Antifungals like itraconazole and ketoconazole
How it works: it affects the pH of the stomach or binds to medications.
Take other medicines one hour before or two to three hours after Digene Fizz.
