Uses of Akso-D 88 mg|5 ml Suspension

Akso-D 88 mg|5 ml Suspension is used for short-term relief of diarrhoea, including travellers’ diarrhoea, and for upset stomach, heartburn, indigestion and nausea.

It eases symptoms while the gut recovers, and drinking plenty of fluids remains important during diarrhoea.

How Akso-D 88 mg|5 ml Suspension works

Bismuth subsalicylate coats the lining of the stomach and gut. The salicylate part reduces inflammation and fluid secretion into the bowel, while bismuth has a mild antibacterial effect and helps bind toxins.

Possible side effects

Akso-D 88 mg|5 ml Suspension commonly causes harmless darkening of the tongue or stools. Other side effects can include:

• Black tongue or black stools
• Constipation
• Nausea
• Ringing in the ears with large amounts

Stop taking it and see a doctor if you have ringing in the ears, blood in the stools, high fever, or diarrhoea lasting more than two days.

• Do not give it to children or teenagers who have or are recovering from chickenpox or flu-like illness, because of the risk of Reye’s syndrome.
