In Acid reflux: Chexid Rf reduces the acid that rises into the food pipe, relieving heartburn and giving an inflamed food pipe time to heal.
In Stomach ulcer: Chexid Rf lowers stomach acid enough for an ulcer to heal and, with antibiotics when needed, helps clear the infection behind it.
In Heartburn: Chexid Rf prevents the burning behind the breastbone that comes after meals or at night, so you can eat and sleep comfortably.

Warnings & precautions

Take it on an empty stomach, about half an hour to an hour before your first meal — this is when the acid pumps are most active and the medicine works best. Long-term use has been linked to low magnesium and low vitamin B12, and to a higher risk of bone fracture. Review the need with your doctor rather than continuing indefinitely. Tell your doctor if acidity comes with difficulty swallowing, vomiting, weight loss, or black stools — these need investigation, not a longer course. Do not stop a long course abruptly; acid can rebound. Your doctor will taper it.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine may cause confusion, blurred vision, sweating and a fast heartbeat. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Quick tips

Take it before breakfast, not after a meal.
Eat smaller meals, avoid late dinners, raise the head of your bed and avoid smoking.
These do as much as the tablet for reflux.
