Ulpan Gel is principally used to manage symptoms resulting from excess stomach acid, such as heartburn and indigestion. It falls under the class of medicines called antacids and local anaesthetics.

This medicine additionally helps in managing conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. The symptoms of these conditions can include a burning pain in your stomach or throat, a sour taste in your mouth, and discomfort after eating certain foods.

Before starting this medicine, it is important to consult your doctor, who will advise you on the correct dosage based on your symptoms and condition. Make sure you let your doctor know about any other ongoing medications or pre-existing conditions you have. If you experience any side effects while taking this medicine, inform your doctor immediately. Remember, for optimal results, continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Ulpan Gel is utilised for the following health conditions:

Management of heartburn and acid indigestion
Alleviation of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms
Support in managing peptic ulcers, including gastric and duodenal ulcers
Reduction of excessive stomach acidity, and associated symptoms

Here are the steps to follow when using Ulpan Gel:

Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the ingredients are well mixed.
To get maximum benefit from this medicine, follow your doctor's advice on dosage and duration.
For further instructions, please refer to the package insert that comes with Ulpan Gel. If you have any doubts, don't hesitate to consult your doctor.

Ulpan Gel is taken orally.

Ulpan Gel may have the following side effects:

Nausea: You might feel sick or have an urge to vomit.
A chalky taste in your mouth
Constipation
Diarrhoea
Headache
Allergic reactions
Severe dizziness or fainting: This is when you feel like everything is spinning around you, making you lose balance.
Mental confusion or mood changes

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolves on discontinuing the use of Ulpan Gel. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Constipation: Consider increasing your intake of water and fibre-rich foods like fruits and vegetables when taking this medicine.
Diarrhoea: Try taking Ulpan Gel with food or milk.

Ulpan Gel contains three active ingredients that work together to alleviate symptoms of excessive stomach acid:

Oxetacaine (10 mg): Acting as a potent local anaesthetic, oxetacaine numbs nerve endings that signal pain. Combined with the antacids, this ingredient offers prolonged pain relief to the lining of the stomach and oesophagus.
Aluminium Hydroxide (0.291 g): This ingredient acts as an antacid by reacting with and neutralising the excess acid present in the stomach. This raises the pH level in the stomach, reducing acidity. Furthermore, aluminium hydroxide forms a protective barrier over inflamed areas in the stomach lining but doesn't affect acid production itself.
Magnesium Hydroxide (Milk Of Magnesia) (98 mg): Another antacid component, it also neutralises excess stomach acid by reacting with it. Like aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide does not reduce stomach acid production.

Pregnancy

If you're pregnant, proceed with caution while considering Ulpan Gel. It's important to consult your doctor before starting this medication.

Breastfeeding

The safety of Ulpan Gel during breastfeeding is not well established. If you are lactating, it's advisable to discuss this with your doctor before using this medicine.

Alcohol

There are no known interactions with alcohol. However, excessive alcohol consumption might increase stomach acidity and exacerbate the conditions Ulpan Gel is used to manage.

Liver

There's no specific precaution related to liver health while using Ulpan Gel. But if you have any liver-related concerns, it is advised to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Kidney

Caution is advised while taking Ulpan Gel if you have a history of kidney health conditions due to the magnesium and aluminium content of the medicine. It is advisable to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Ulpan Gel does not usually affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. But if you experience side effects like dizziness or confusion, avoid such activities until you feel better.

Allergy

Avoid using Ulpan Gel if you have known allergies to any of its ingredients. Allergic reactions may include rash, itching or trouble breathing.

Children

Ulpan Gel is not recommended for children below 6 years unless prescribed by a doctor.

Older Patients

Elderly patients should take this medicine under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Older patients might also have liver and kidney issues, which need consideration while prescribing this medicine. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Ulpan Gel interacts with the following medicines:

Cardiovascular medicines: Medications like warfarin may interact with Ulpan Gel leading to changes in medicine effects or increased risk of side effects.
Antiepileptic medicines: The absorption of antiepileptic medicines like phenytoin can be reduced when taken with Ulpan Gel.

Drug-Food Interactions

Ulpan Gel can interact with certain foods. To prevent a decrease in absorption, it is generally advised to take this medicine one hour before or two hours after meals.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Ulpan Gel interacts with the following diseases:

Kidney Disease: If you are diagnosed with kidney disease, use of Ulpan Gel should be done cautiously due to the potential accumulation of magnesium leading to symptoms like muscle weakness, loss of reflexes, confusion, and low blood pressure.
Renal Failure: Patients suffering from renal failure should be careful while taking this medication as aluminium could cause elevated levels and potential toxicity.

Daily Dose

Your doctor will prescribe the correct daily dosage of Ulpan Gel, considering factors like the severity of your condition and your response to the medicine. Ensure you strictly adhere to this prescribed dosage and refrain from exceeding it without consulting your doctor. For further details regarding the dosage, kindly refer to the package insert.

Over Dose

If you accidentally take more Ulpan Gel than prescribed, you might experience side effects such as nausea and diarrhoea. If these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor at the earliest.

Missed Dose

In case you forget to take Ulpan Gel at the scheduled time, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosage schedule. Don't adjust your dosage without consulting your doctor.

Store Ulpan Gel at room temperature.
Keep the medicine bottle tightly closed when not in use to prevent air exposure.
Protect the medicine from freezing and excessive heat.
Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

If you're experiencing heartburn or acid indigestion, try eating smaller, more frequent meals instead of three large ones. This can help manage stomach acidity.
Avoid lying down or going to bed soon after eating. This can help prevent gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition where stomach acid flows back into your food pipe causing discomfort.
