Acedone-Z Chewable Tablet 250 mg+400 mg

Acedone-Z Chewable Tablet is a potent antacid formulation containing Aluminium Hydroxide (250 mg) and Magnesium Hydroxide (400 mg). Manufactured by Zenith Pharmaceuticals Ltd, this Chewable Tablet provides rapid relief from hyperacidity, heartburn, and indigestion. Priced at ৳0.53 per unit, it offers an affordable solution for gastrointestinal discomfort.

The combination of aluminium and magnesium hydroxides ensures balanced acid neutralization without systemic absorption. It forms a protective layer on ulcer surfaces, promoting healing while preventing acid rebound. Ideal for peptic ulcers, gastritis, and dyspepsia, this antacid minimizes constipation risks associated with single-component formulations.

Dosage: Take 1-2 tablets 1-3 hours after meals and at bedtime. For optimal results, chew thoroughly before swallowing. Avoid concurrent use with antibiotics like azithromycin or tetracyclines, as Acedone-Z may reduce their absorption. Consult a physician for long-term use exceeding 14 days.

Common side effects include alkaluria and nephrolithiasis with prolonged use. Pregnant women should avoid it during the first trimester. Store below 30°C in moisture-free containers. The 20×10 pack (৳106.00) ensures cost-effective management of chronic acidity issues.
