Quick Tips
If you are also taking other medications to treat acidity (e.g., antacid), take them 2 hours before or after taking Ancid 300mg Tablet. Avoid taking soft drinks and citrus fruits like orange and lemon, which can irritate the stomach and increase acid secretion. Inform your doctor if you do not feel better after taking Ancid 300mg Tablet for 2 weeks as you may be suffering from some other problems. Inform your doctor if you have ever been diagnosed with kidney disease as the dose of your medicine may need to be adjusted. Do not stop taking the medication without talking to your doctor.
