Important Tips

When to See a Doctor

If symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks, are severe, or include blood in stool or vomit, seek medical attention immediately. These could be signs of serious conditions requiring professional care.

Medication Interactions

Some digestive medicines can interact with other medications. If you take regular medications, consult a pharmacist before starting new digestive medicine, especially antacids.

Lifestyle Matters

Medicine works best alongside healthy habits. Eat slowly, avoid late-night meals, manage stress, and limit alcohol and spicy foods for better digestive health.
