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.

Inform your doctor before taking Diovol-LA Forte SF Mint Flavour Suspension if you have low phosphate levels, high magnesium levels, kidney or liver problems. Consult your doctor before taking Diovol-LA Forte SF Mint Flavour Suspension if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Diovol-LA Forte SF Mint Flavour Suspension should be given to children only if the doctor has advised it. Avoid consuming alcohol as it could lead to increased acidity.
