Manti Extra, 12 chewable tablets

Famotidinum, Magnesium, Calcium

Description

Manti Extra is a combination of three active substances: famotidine, used to reduce the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, and two antacids (reducing the concentration of stomach acid) - calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide. Manti Extra is intended to alleviate the symptoms of indigestion or stomach hyperacidity.

The active ingredients in Manti Extra work in two ways: calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide work by quickly neutralizing excess acid already produced in the stomach, leading to rapid pain relief, while famotidine inhibits the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and exerts more long-lasting effect, reducing the acidity of gastric juice for 10-12 hours. The combination of these two actions effectively maintains proper acidity in the stomach, allowing the soothing of the irritated mucosa.

Indications

Manti Extra is used in adults and adolescents over 16 years of age for the short-term symptomatic treatment of ailments related to hyperacidity of gastric juice, such as:

• heartburn,
• dyspepsia,
• pain and burning in the epigastrium.

Contraindications

When not to use Manti Extra:

• If you are allergic to other medicines that lower hydrochloric acid levels (such as ranitidine, cimetidine etc.);
• If you suffer from kidney failure;
• Children and adolescents under 16 years of age should not take Manti Extra;

• if the patient uses other drugs used to treat gastric hyperacidity;
• if you are taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
• if you have had a peptic ulcer in the past or have any disturbing symptoms such as unintentional weight loss, difficulty swallowing, repeated vomiting, blood or grounds vomiting, melaena;
• if you have confirmed hypercalcemia (increase in the amount of calcium in the body) because the product contains calcium;
• if you have confirmed hypophosphatemia (decrease in the amount of phosphorus in the body), as the product may worsen this condition;
• if the patient has confirmed hypercalciuria (increased urinary excretion of calcium) or urinary tract stones;
• if the patient has impaired kidney function, the product should only be administered under medical supervision, and serum calcium and magnesium levels should be monitored;
• in case of impaired liver or kidney function, Manti Extra should be used with caution;
• in case of long-term use, especially during treatment with other calcium-containing drugs and/or vitamin D-containing drugs, due to the risk of increased calcium levels in the blood with the subsequent development of renal failure.
