Ranraft Mint Flavour Suspension 150ml is used to relieve heartburn, acid indigestion and acid reflux. It is a combination medicine containing sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate, and belongs to a group of medicines called alginate antacids.
This medicine forms a protective layer on top of the stomach contents, which helps stop acid rising into the food pipe, while the antacids neutralise excess acid. It is sugar free. Shake the bottle well and take it after meals and at bedtime, as prescribed by your doctor, measuring the dose with the cup provided. Leave a gap of about 2 hours between this medicine and other medicines, as it can affect how they are absorbed.
Eating smaller meals slowly, avoiding spicy or fatty food, and not lying down soon after eating can reduce reflux. Raising the head of your bed slightly may ease night-time heartburn.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, heart failure, high blood pressure, high calcium levels, or are on a low-salt diet, as it contains sodium and calcium. Tell your doctor about other medicines you take, and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Contact your doctor if symptoms last more than 2 weeks or if you have difficulty swallowing, weight loss, vomiting of blood or black stools. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
