Patient's question:
I have been taking Daxi for 7 days for stomach pain, and the symptoms have reduced. I am not sure if I can continue taking it as prescribed. The instructions say it should not be taken for less than 7 days. I have a dull stomach ache sometimes with a bit of bloating for two months. This episode of pain reappeared after eating acidic and cold foods. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
As you mentioned, in this case, it must be due to excessive gastric acid secretion, which triggers stomach pain and bloating. I suggest you buy Rabeprazole and Mosapride from a pharmacy. These two medications are very effective, and you will see noticeable improvement within 1 to 2 days of taking them. Please stop taking Aluminum Hydroxide Magnesium (also known as Daxi). You should pay close attention to dietary hygiene and eating habits. Identify and avoid your trigger foods, eat warm meals instead of cold ones, and keep your abdomen warm to avoid exposure to cold. Avoid overtime work, getting angry, and drinking beer.
