MUCAINE acts as an antacid in dyspepsia and is used for the symptomatic relief of hyperacidity associated with peptic ulceration, gastritis, oesophageal reflux with heartburn and gastric hyperacidity. MUCAINE may be of benefit if symptomatic relief could not be obtained with antacid therapy alone.

CONTRA-INDICATIONS:
Do not use this product if you are presently taking a prescription antibiotic drug containing any form of tetracycline.
This medicine should not be given to any patient who has demonstrated a sensitivity to it.
The use of aluminium- or magnesium-containing antacids is contra-indicated in patients with symptoms of appendicitis since these medicines may increase the danger of perforation or rupture due to their constipating or laxative effects. The use of aluminium-containing antacids (except those containing aluminium phosphate) is contra-indicated in patients with hypophosphataemia due to the phosphate binding properties of aluminium salts.
The use of magnesium-containing antacids is contra-indicated in patients with severe renal function impairment due to increased danger of occurrence of hypermagnesaemia.
Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been established.

DOSAGE AND DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Shake well before use. The recommended adult oral dose is one to two 5 mL measures, four times daily, 15 minutes before meals and at bedtime. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. MUCAINE suspension should preferably be taken undiluted; however, if desired, it may be followed by a sip of water. The maximum dose recommended may be decreased following adequate control of the symptoms.

WARNING
Adequate diagnostic studies are recommended. The possibility of gastrointestinal carcinoma should be considered in patients with protracted or recurrent indigestion.
