Rulox No 1 Usage: this is an antacid that works at the stomach to neutralize & reduce acid. Antacids are used to treat an upset stomach caused by heartburn, acid indigestion, or sour stomach; to treat peptic ulcer, hiatal hernia or other conditions caused by an excess of stomach acid; & to prevent ulcers or bleeding from ulcers.

How to use Rulox No 1: Take this medication as prescribed. Taking too much of an antacid can reverse the effects & more acid will be secreted. at certain conditions, however, it may be necessary to take antacid as frequently as all 1 to 2 hours. To be effective, chewable tablets must be chewed thoroughly before swallowing followed by full glass of water. Shake liquid forms well before pouring each dose. do not take any other drug within 1 to two hours of taking an antacid. since antacids coat the stomach, they can prevent other medications from being absorbed properly if taken at the same time.

Rulox No 1 side effects: this medication can cause nausea, loss of appetite, constipation or diarrhea, weakness, or headache. If these symptoms persist or become severe, notify your healthcare professional. Notify your doctor if you notice black, tarry stools while taking this med.
