INTRODUCTION ABOUT ULPAN GEL(ORAL)
ULPAN
GEL(ORAL) is used to manage gastrointestinal disorders manifested with
hyperacidity and increased gas production. It may be administered as
monotherapy or to manage gastro-oesophagitis reflux, chronic diarrhea,
and non-ulcer dyspepsia. ULPAN GEL(ORAL) contains Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium hydroxide, and oxetacaine, which belong to a group of medicines called Antacids and Local anaesthetics, respectively.
ULPAN
GEL(ORAL) is not recommended for patients with chronic renal failure.
Patients should be advised not to take any oral medication within 1 to 2
hours of taking ULPAN GEL(ORAL), as it has potential interactions with
other medicines. Patients should be informed that ULPAN GEL(ORAL) held
for a long time in the mouth may impair taste sensation because of its
oxetacaine content.
Patients should be advised not to exceed the
prescribed amounts of ULPAN GEL(ORAL), as it may cause hypersensitive
reactions. The most common side effects of taking ULPAN GEL(ORAL) are
nausea and constipation. Consult your doctor if any of the side effects
get worse while taking ULPAN GEL(ORAL).
USES OF ULPAN GEL(ORAL)
- ULPAN GEL(ORAL) is used to manage gastrointestinal disorders manifested with hyperacidity and increased gas production.
HOW ULPAN GEL(ORAL) WORKS
ULPAN
GEL(ORAL) is a combination of Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium hydroxide,
and Oxetacaine. Aluminium hydroxide acts on the hydrochloric acid in
the stomach by neutralizing it, forming Aluminium chloride salt and
water. Magnesium hydroxide increases peristaltic activity, causing
osmotic retention of fluids, thus resulting in bowel evacuation. It also
reduces stomach acid by reacting with hydrochloric acid to form
magnesium chloride. Oxetacaine is a topical anaesthetic that effectively
relieves pain when applied to the mouth and food pipelining. The
antacids neutralize stomach acid and reduce further irritation of the
food pipe. Antacid also thickens the liquid to help carry the oxetacaine
and coat the food pipe.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Take
ULPAN GEL(ORAL) as advised by your physician. Shake well before use.
Take ULPAN GEL(ORAL) 1 to 2 teaspoonfuls 4 times a day, 15 minutes
before each meal and at bedtime. It is preferable to take ULPAN
GEL(ORAL) undiluted. However, a sip of water may be taken if desired.
The correct dose and duration for you will be decided by the doctor
depending upon your age, body weight, and disease condition.

HOW TO MANAGE SIDE EFFECTS
Constipation
Increase
fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Stay
hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Maintain regular meal times and
avoid skipping meals. Exercise regularly to promote bowel movements.
Establish a bathroom routine and avoid ignoring the urge to go. Avoid
processed foods and prioritize probiotic-rich foods for gut health.
Consult your doctor if constipation persists.
Diarrhea
Drink
plenty of clear fluids, like water, diluted fruit juices, or oral
rehydration solutions, to stay hydrated. Avoid caffeinated or alcoholic
beverages, as they can worsen dehydration. Gradually take bland,
low-fiber foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast to help firm
up stools. Probiotics, found in yogurt or supplements, may help restore
the balance of gut bacteria. Practice good hand hygiene to prevent the
spread of infection. Consult your doctor if diarrhea worsens.
Nausea And Vomiting
Stay
hydrated with small sips of clear fluids like water, ginger ale, or
electrolyte solutions. Avoid consuming large meals; instead, opt for

help soothe the stomach. Rest in a comfortable position, preferably with
your head elevated, to ease symptoms. Consult your doctor if nausea and
vomiting persist.
