What is Fumagate fort? How will the drug be used in the case of a patient with a medical condition? How to avoid negative effects on users' health? The following article will provide more information about the effects and effective use of Fumagate fort.1. The main use of the drug Fumagate-fort
By classification, the drug Fumagate fort is listed in the list of drugs for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. The main pharmacology of this drug is claimed to be antacid in gastric juice. Unlike other forms of tablet preparation, Fumagate fort is prepared into a powder divided into 10g each for patient convenience.According to the synthesis analysis of biochemical reactions, the drug was selected to be prepared from the main ingredients: aluminum hydroxide, emulsifying agent simethicone and magnesium hydroxide.
In which aluminum and magnesium are the commonly chosen metals for stomach-related diseases. These two components exist in the form of metal oxides, which will help neutralize the acidity of the stomach thanks to the OH + combined H– reaction. The base radical continuously neutralizes the acid radical, bringing the equilibrium to neutral.
High levels of stomach acid make acid reflux more severe. By this balance, the ulcer condition will improve gradually. This allows the wound to heal. The metal after the reaction can become a material that wraps wounds to help them heal.
Metal oxides exist quite a lot in chemistry. The periodic table of elements also produces many strongly basic metals. However, in the medical field, in addition to the high properties of selected drugs, the safety of the body is also a problem. Metals that carry cations with a positive charge are chemically similar.
But with biochemistry, positive cations can cause the absorption of nutrients in the intestines. But Mg2+ and Al3+ because they are located at the position of weaker metallicity should be selected. Too much metallicity will make the environment very basic, and at a moderate level it just neutralizes the acid but not dangerous to other active ions.
Drugs using a ratio of 1 Mg oxide to 2 Al oxide are also not random. Magnesium hydroxide has a fairly fast reaction rate, being the metal that precedes aluminum, so it is responsible for relieving symptoms and neutralizing gastric juice first. After the amount of acid is neutralized, the body will send a signal to increase the acid concentration to easily absorb the food used daily. So a weaker base like aluminum will slowly reduce the acidity.
The dosage consideration directly affects the effectiveness of the drug. Magnesium hydroxide is a pre-reacted substance that helps to quickly deal with a patient's problem. Aluminum comes later to balance gastric juice to help the digestive system work stably again. Aluminum hydroxide will remain and slowly react so that the stomach environment is not acidic or basic. Thanks to that, the treatment of stomach ulcers really brings results.
Simethicone is an emulsion that covers the inflammatory surface. Because the environment is not dry, the inflammation will take a long time to disappear. The emulsion now plays the role of isolating the inflammatory surface from contact with food and preventing bacteria from entering. Although this ingredient is not absorbed by the body, studies have shown it to be safe for the health of most patients who are not allergic to the drug ingredient.
Thanks to the main ingredients mentioned above, Fumagate fort medicine can be used for a number of pathological problems such as:
Gastric ulcers in the antrum Gastroduodenal ulcers Stomach pain is diagnosed Esophagitis due to acid reflux from the stomach Stomach overproduction of acid too high Acute chronic severe peptic ulcer
2. Note how to use the same dose of Fumagate-fort
Usually, drugs are preferred after meals. Possibly due to the nature of neutralizing the environment, drinking on an empty stomach will help empty the stomach and quickly promote the effect of blocking ulcers and neutralizing the internal environment. Some cases can choose to drink 30 to 120 minutes after eating. The best time of day to ensure the body's recovery is before bed. As for chronic patients, it may be prescribed to use the drug when there are uncomfortable problems.Excipients 1 pack contains 10mg full dose for adults. Adults, depending on the indications, usually need to use 2-4 times a day. Young children will only take half a pack at a time and treat the same number of times as adults. During treatment, the dosage is also adjusted to best suit the patient.
The ingredients of the drug are selected to be the safest for health. Therefore, when an overdose has not been detected, there are dangerous side effects. However, you will encounter some digestive problems such as digestive disorders, constipation, ... More serious will cause stomach pain to increase.
Missing medication is a common cause of double dose to ensure pharmacology. Fumagate, like other medicines, should only be used when it has been forgotten for a long time and cannot be doubled if it has been forgotten before.
3. Fumagate-fort drug interaction with parallel products
The drug after taking it will pass through the stomach, so it has an impact on this part. The gastric acid is the catalyst that makes the absorption process take place. However, there are some drugs that can be dangerous if you encounter Fumagate, you should pay attention:Antifungal: This is a group of drugs that are difficult to dissolve if not supported by gastric acid, which is difficult for the body to absorb. Tetracycline and Quinolone antibiotics should be avoided together. Antibacterial drugs have a complex structure that slows down their absorption. If used together, it will make the condition untreated and the body will become resistant to the drug in the future. When using the drug with Quinin or Digoxin, this group of drugs will be reduced in function. Capsules form when used together will reduce or lose all effects in the intestine. To avoid trouble and danger, drugs should be used only by prescription. In addition, if mutually incompatible drugs are used at the same time, you need to separate them for use. The interval between drugs that interact badly should be from 3 hours so that the previous drug's pharmacological reduction does not affect the drug used later.
When drugs that reduce the acidity of gastric juice are used, it can affect the ability to digest leading to intestinal infections. This is an extremely serious health problem that can cause bad reactions to the body afterwards. Therefore, with Fumagate, you should not use it on your own, but use a prescription drug.
Due to the effect on the intestinal tract after using Fumagate, if the patient has irritable bowel syndrome or has colon spasms, it should be noted. For the elderly and young children who need to be used, there must be a check from a doctor to always adjust the dose to the most appropriate.
Pregnant or nursing women are susceptible to the drug. Therefore, most of this object is not recommended to use. Although the study has not discovered any danger from the drug to pregnant women and nursing mothers, it is still not possible to arbitrarily use it without a prescription.
Each drug has different characteristics and uses. In general, Fumagate fort is quite safe to use. However, it can affect the gastrointestinal tract so it cannot be subjective. When you want to use this medicine, you should consult with your doctor or pharmacist to ensure maximum safety for your health.
