Magnate D Drop

Q: My child has a dry cough and is experiencing voice problems. Can it be related to acid reflux?

Yes, this could be due to acid reflux. The acid in the stomach can get pushed up to the vocal cords and throat and irritate while sleeping. This can result in a dry cough and voice change. In extreme cases, if this acid enters the lungs through the throat, it can lead to lung infections.

Your child’s medicine at a glance

Give Magnate D Drop to your child orally in the dose, time, and way as prescribed. The duration of treatment will depend on your child's condition. Do not give it more or for longer than prescribed as that may lead to adverse effects. Also, do not stop giving the medicine abruptly as it may bring back the symptoms or worsen your child’s condition.

Magnate D Drop may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, constipation, burping, loss of appetite, dry mouth, unpleasant chalky taste, and polydipsia (excessive thirst). These are usually temporary and subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. In case these side effects persist or become bothersome for your child, do reach out to your child’s doctor on a priority basis.

Let the doctor know about all the medicines your child is taking. Also, inform the child’s doctor of any history of allergy, intolerance to any food products, abdominal obstruction, liver impairment, kidney malfunction, or birth defects. This information is very important for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

Benefits of Magnate D Drop for your child

Treatment of Abdominal pain
Magnate D Drop gives relief from abdominal pain and works best when used at the first sign of pain. It slows down intestinal movements and relaxes the muscles in the gut and thus helps relieve cramps and pain. Moreover, it binds with the excess gas and disintegrates the gas bubbles which allows easy passage of gas and relieves bloating and discomfort. Give this medication exactly as directed by your doctor.

How can I give Magnate D Drop to my child?

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a marked dropper and take it as directed. Magnate D Drop may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How Magnate D Drop works

Magnate D Drop contains three active medicines: Dicyclomine, Magaldrate, and Simethicone. Dicyclomine is an antispasmodic that works by relaxing the muscles in your child’s stomach and gut (intestine). It stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms) which further helps relieve cramps, pain, bloating and discomfort. Magaldrate is an alkaline salt that neutralizes the excess acid present in the stomach. Simethicone is an antifoaming medicine that helps in the breakdown of gas bubbles and allows easy passage of gas.

Quick tips

Don’t let your child eat food items such as caffeinated drinks, aerated beverages, or foods that are spicy and fried as they all can trigger acidity.
Do not give it more or for longer than recommended as that can lead to increased side effects in your child.
Never self-medicate. Always consult your child’s doctor.
Certain home-based remedies to treat acidity:
1. Give cold milk to your child as it has an excellent natural acidity resolving property.
2. Divide your child’s meals into small proportions to ensure a proper time gap between each meal.
3. Do not feed your child immediately before bedtime.
4. Give plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration in your child.
5. Improve your child’s sleeping/eating position. Raise your child’s head at a comfortable level while sleeping. Discourage reclining or slouching immediately after eating.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know my child needs Magnate D Drop?

If your child is eating less, complaining of stomach pain before or after eating, feeling nauseous, experiencing a sour taste, or having repeated bouts of cough while sleeping, then it may indicate excessive acidity and a need for medication.

What if my child takes too much Magnate D Drop?

Magnate D Drop is unlikely to cause harm if you give an extra dose by mistake. However, prolonged excessive intake of Magnate D Drop may result in serious side effects like gastrointestinal obstruction, constipation, and disturbed bowel movements. Make sure to give this medicine to your child strictly as per the prescribed dose, time, and way.

What causes acid reflux in my child?

Unlike adults, the angle between the food pipe and stomach is still in process of development in children. This makes it easier for the acid produced in the stomach to reach the food pipe and cause symptoms of acid reflux.

My child has a dry cough and is experiencing voice problems. Can it be related to acid reflux?
