silicol®gel is an oral gel containing colloidal silicic acid for the treatment of upper gastrointestinal disorders. Taken 3 times a day it helps manage symptoms and provides relief for gastrointestinal discomfort.
Its therapeutic action is due to the large and reactive surface of colloidal silicic acid and its ability to act as an adsorbent. After silicol®gel is swallowed, it forms a protective and soothing coating over the lining of the stomach and intestines. Due to the adsorptive and binding qualities of colloidal silicic acid, it physically attracts and adsorbs irritants, toxins and pathogens.
This renders them harmless so that they can be removed and passed through, as the body empties naturally. Silicic acid can also bind gases and reduce excess acidity.
silicol®gel is suitable for adults and children over 12 who are suffering from any of the following upper gastrointestinal disorders; stomach pain, abdominal discomfort, flatulence, reflux, nausea and heartburn.
To treat upper gastrointestinal disorders, take one tablespoon (15ml) of silicol®gel three times daily, an hour before mealtimes. After acute symptoms ease, treatment is recommended for another few days. For chronic conditions, treat for up to four weeks and then take a break to re-assess symptoms.
Due to the large and reactive surface of colloidal silicic acid and its binding capacity, you should take the certified Medical Device, silicol®gel with a gap of at least 1 hour before or after the intake of medicines. Otherwise their effect could be impaired. Please follow on pack advice.
