What is Mi-acid?

Mi-Acid is a combination medicine used to treat heartburn, acid indigestion, upset stomach, bloating caused by gas, or stomach discomfort caused by eating or drinking too much.

Mi-Acid may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

This medicine can make it harder for your body to absorb other medicines, especially certain antibiotics. Avoid taking any other medicine within 2 hours before or 2 hours after you take Mi-Acid.

How should I use Mi-acid

Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor.

You must chew the chewable tablet before you swallow it.

Shake the oral suspension (liquid) before you measure a dose. Use the dosing cup provided, or use a medicine dose-measuring device (not a kitchen spoon).

Do not take more than the maximum dose recommended on the medicine label. Do not take this medicine at maximum doses for longer than 2 weeks in a row.

An antacid is usually taken for a short time until your symptoms clear up. Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve within 2 weeks of taking this medicine.
