Pregnancy interaction

• Generally considered safe for use during pregnancy when administered as directed.
• Aluminum- and magnesium-based antacids are regarded as low-risk options and are frequently employed for the relief of acid reflux or indigestion during pregnancy.
• However, refrain from prolonged or excessive use, as elevated magnesium levels could impact embryonic calcium equilibrium.
• Simethicone is not absorbed into the bloodstream and is considered harmless for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Always administer the minimum efficacious dose in accordance with your physician's guidance.

Expert advice

• Administer DYNACID following meals or prior to sleep to achieve optimal effectiveness.
• Please adhere to the prescribed dosage limits.
• Maintain a minimum interval of two hours between the administration of DYNACID and other medications, particularly antibiotics, iron supplements, or thyroid medications.
• If symptoms continue for more than 10 to 14 days, seek advice from your healthcare provider—this may suggest an underlying condition such as GERD or an ulcer.
• Consume adequate amounts of water and refrain from piquant foods, smoking, and alcohol to mitigate acid-related symptoms.
• Appropriate for occasional relief from indigestion, but not intended for sustained acid suppression.

Side Effects

Common:

• Presence of a chalky sensation in the oral cavity
• Constipation caused by aluminium
• Slight diarrhea attributable to magnesium
• Nausea or abdominal edema
• Uncommon/Serious:
• Hypophosphatemia (decreased phosphate levels) associated with prolonged use
• Kidney impairment resulting from excessive use in patients with pre-existing renal disease
• Muscle weakness or fatigue resulting from electrolyte imbalance (a rare occurrence)
• Seek prompt medical care if you experience ongoing vomiting, black diarrhea, or intense abdominal pain.

How it works

• Aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide neutralize gastric acid through the formation of benign salts and water.
• The aluminum component functions gradually, offering sustained acid control, whereas the magnesium component operates more rapidly to alleviate symptoms.
• Simethicone facilitates the dissipation of gas pockets, thereby alleviating bloating and associated discomfort.
• The combination offers effective acid neutralization while avoiding constipation or diarrhea when employed in appropriate proportions.

Medicine Interaction

• Use with caution or refrain from scheduling closely in proximity to:
• Tetracycline antibiotics (e.g., doxycycline)—decreased bioavailability.
• Fluoroquinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin)—diminished efficacy.
• Iron supplements – reduced assimilation.
• Levothyroxine (thyroid medication)—decreased absorption.
• Certain cardiac or antifungal medications may experience a delay in absorption.
• Ensure a minimum interval of two hours between taking DYNACID and these medications.

Uses/Indications

• Acid Reflux / Gastroesophageal Reflux
• Indigestion and Gastric Discomfort
• Bloating and Excess Gas (Flatulence)
• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)—moderate symptomatic alleviation
• Postprandial acid irritation or a searing sensation
