Suggest Remedy For Severe Acidity And Indigestion During Pregnancy
My wife is expecting, just a week since she missed her periods. Normally when she suffers from severe acidity and indigestion, she experiences severe cramps in upper abdomen. At such times Metal Spas provides relief but now she can t take it as it is a Sch C drug. What is the recommended medicine if such a situation arises during pregnancy? Pls help.

You don't have to worry much for this complain it is usual during pregnancy. For this you can give your wife Cap Pantop-DSR or Cap Rekool-D twice daily empty stomach at-least one hour before any meal.If still acidity is very severe than you can give her some antacid like syrup mucaine-gel or syrup gelusil-mps plus 2 tsf every 6 hourly. For severe cramps in abdomen she can take tab cyclopam or tab meftal-spaz s.o.s as both are safe in pregnancy so you need not to panic much
