ENCICARB 500 10ML

About

ENCICARB 500 10ML is an antacid medication primarily used to relieve symptoms of indigestion, heartburn, and sour stomach. It typically contains active ingredients like sodium bicarbonate or calcium carbonate, which work by directly neutralizing excess stomach acid. This action helps to reduce the acidity in the esophagus and stomach, providing rapid relief from discomfort. It is often used for symptomatic relief of conditions associated with hyperacidity, offering a quick and effective solution for occasional digestive upset. The formulation is designed for oral administration, ensuring ease of use for patients experiencing acute acid-related symptoms.

The therapeutic effect of ENCICARB 500 is localized to the gastrointestinal tract, where it acts as a buffer against gastric acid. Its rapid onset of action makes it suitable for on-demand relief. While effective for symptomatic management, it is not intended for long-term treatment of underlying conditions causing excessive acid production. Patients are advised to consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen, as this could indicate a more serious underlying gastrointestinal issue requiring different management strategies.
