Chooz Antacid 12 Chewing Gums

Medication name: Chooz Antacid 12 Chewing Gums
Drug class: Antacid

Use:
This medication is used to relieve symptoms of heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach.
It provides quick, on-the-go relief from mild acidity and stomach discomfort, especially after meals.

How it works:
Chooz gum contains calcium carbonate, an antacid that neutralizes excess stomach acid.
When chewed, it releases calcium carbonate, which reacts with stomach acid to form calcium salts and water, reducing acidity and soothing irritation in the stomach and esophagus.
Chewing also stimulates saliva flow, which helps further neutralize acid and freshen breath.

Dosage and administration:
Chew one or two pieces of gum thoroughly when heartburn or indigestion occurs.
Do not swallow the gum.
Adults may repeat the dose as needed, but should not exceed the maximum daily amount recommended on the package or by a doctor.
Avoid taking other calcium-containing products simultaneously without medical advice.

Side effects:
Chooz is generally safe when used as directed.
Mild side effects such as gas, bloating, or a chalky taste in the mouth may occur.
Excessive intake can cause constipation or increased calcium levels in the blood.
Seek medical help if you experience persistent stomach pain, vomiting, or weakness.

Precautions:
Do not use if allergic to calcium carbonate or any of the ingredients.
Consult a doctor before use if you have kidney stones, high calcium levels, or are on a low-calcium or low-sodium diet.
Avoid long-term use without medical supervision, as overuse may interfere with the absorption of other minerals or medications.
Safe for occasional use during pregnancy when recommended by a healthcare professional.

Storage:
Store below 25 °C in a dry place away from heat and moisture.
Keep sealed in its original packaging to preserve freshness.
Keep out of reach of children and do not use after the expiry date.
