How Magnate D Drop works

Magnate D Drop contains three active medicines: Dicyclomine, Magaldrate, and Simethicone. Dicyclomine is an antispasmodic that works by relaxing the muscles in your child’s stomach and gut (intestine). It stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms) which further helps relieve cramps, pain, bloating and discomfort. Magaldrate is an alkaline salt that neutralizes the excess acid present in the stomach. Simethicone is an antifoaming medicine that helps in the breakdown of gas bubbles and allows easy passage of gas.

FAQs

Magnate D Drop

Q. How do I know my child needs Magnate D Drop?

If your child is eating less, complaining of stomach pain before or after eating, feeling nauseous, experiencing a sour taste, or having repeated bouts of cough while sleeping, then it may indicate excessive acidity and a need for medication.

Q. What if my child takes too much Magnate D Drop?

Magnate D Drop is unlikely to cause harm if you give an extra dose by mistake. However, prolonged excessive intake of Magnate D Drop may result in serious side effects like gastrointestinal obstruction, constipation, and disturbed bowel movements. Make sure to give this medicine to your child strictly as per the prescribed dose, time, and way.

Q. What causes acid reflux in my child?

Unlike adults, the angle between the food pipe and stomach is still in process of development in children. This makes it easier for the acid produced in the stomach to reach the food pipe and cause symptoms of acid reflux.

Q. My child has a dry cough and is experiencing voice problems. Can it be related to acid reflux?

Yes, this could be due to acid reflux. The acid in the stomach can get pushed up to the vocal cords and throat and irritate while sleeping. This can result in a dry cough and voice change. In extreme cases, if this acid enters the lungs through the throat, it can lead to lung infections.

Q. How should Magnate D Drop be stored?

Magnate D Drop should be stored at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Also, keep all the medicines out of the reach and sight of children to avoid any accidental intake.
