Description

Res-Q Antacid-Antiflatulence tablets are a digestive relief medicine formulated to neutralise excess stomach acid and reduce gas/bloating (flatulence) in the digestive tract. They provide fast relief from heartburn, indigestion, sour stomach, and discomfort caused by gas.

Prescription

Over-the-counter (OTC) — no prescription required in most regions. These are typically classified as non-prescription antacid/anti-gas tablets that can be used for self-care of occasional symptoms.

Therapeutic Category

Digestive aid — antacid (neutralises stomach acid) and antiflatulence (reduces gas/bloating).

Active Ingredients / Composition

Each chewable tablet contains:

Dried Aluminium Hydroxide

Magnesium Hydroxide

Activated Dimethicone

Variant

Chewable tablet form — typically flavoured and designed for oral chewable use to start acting immediately.

Consume Type

Oral chewable tablets — meant to be sucked or chewed, not swallowed whole without chewing.

Directions / Usage

• Chew 1–2 tablets after meals and at bedtime for symptomatic relief.
• Do not swallow whole — chew thoroughly to allow rapid action in the stomach.
• Do not exceed the maximum daily dose stated on the product label (often ~7–11 tablets per day for adults depending on antacid strength).
• Suitable for adults and children over a certain age (label dependent); children under specified age should use under medical guidance.

Common Side Effects

Antacids and anti-gas products are usually well tolerated, but possible effects include:

• Constipation — often seen with calcium-based antacids.
  Diarrhoea — can occur with magnesium-containing antacids.
• Mild nausea or stomach discomfort (rare).
  
• Belching or gas (temporary).
  

Rarely, long-term excessive use can alter electrolyte balance or cause systemic effects — especially in people with impaired kidney function.

Package Type

Typically blister packs or bottles of chewable tablets (e.g., 10’s, 20’s, 30’s). Check your specific pack for exact count.

Storage Advice

• Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature.
• Protect from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Safety Advice

•  Use only for occasional heartburn/indigestion and gas
  
• If symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks or recur frequently, consult a healthcare provider
  
• Not recommended for prolonged use without medical advice — long-term antacid overuse may affect absorption of other medications and nutrients
  
•  If you have kidney disease, heart disease, or are on medications like tetracyclines, iron supplements, or thyroid hormones, check with a doctor or pharmacist before use — antacids can interfere with absorption
  
• Use caution if pregnant or breastfeeding — consult a clinician.

• Chewable antacid tablets with simethicone (e.g., Rennie Deflatine flavoured chewable tablets).
