1. What Bemolan is and what it is used for

Bemolan belongs to a group of medicines called antacids. The active ingredient, magaldrate, is transformed into aluminum and magnesium salts in the stomach, regulating stomach acidity.

It is indicated for the symptomatic relief of occasional gastric discomfort related to hyperacidity, stomach acid, and heartburn in adults.

2. What you need to know before taking Bemolan

Do not take Bemolan:

  • if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to magaldrate or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • if you have intestinal obstruction.
  • if you have severe kidney failure or low phosphate levels in the blood (hypophosphatemia).
  • if you have high magnesium levels in the blood (hypermagnesemia).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Bemolan.

Before starting treatment with Bemolan, you should inform your doctor if you have or have had any of the following disorders:

  • Kidney function impairment: in very prolonged treatments and at high doses, there may be signs of chronic aluminum and/or magnesium poisoning.
  • Osteoporosis (loss of bone density) and osteomalacia (softening of the bones): prolonged use and high doses of antacids containing aluminum may worsen some bone diseases due to decreased absorption of phosphorus and calcium from food.
  • Dementia (progressive impairment of brain function): prolonged use and high doses of antacids containing aluminum may aggravate dementia in patients with this disease, as aluminum can accumulate in brain tissue.

Taking Bemolan with other medicines:

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medicine.

You should avoid taking Bemolan simultaneously with the following medicines, as Bemolan may reduce their absorption:

  • Tetracyclines and quinolone derivatives such as ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, and norfloxacin (a group of antibiotics)
  • Digoxin (used to treat heart problems)
  • Benzodiazepines (used as sedatives and for sleep problems)
  • Coumarin derivatives such as acenocoumarol and warfarin (oral anticoagulants)
  • Indomethacin (anti-inflammatory)
  • Cimetidine (antacid)
  • Chenodeoxycholic and ursodeoxycholic acid (used in liver problems)
  • Iron supplements (used in anemia problems)
  • Isoniazid (antitubercular)
  • Chlorpromazine (neuroleptic)

For this reason, the intake of the mentioned medicines should be done at least 2-3 hours before or after the administration of Bemolan.

Taking Bemolan with food and drinks:

Take this medicine 1 to 2 hours after main meals.

The concomitant use of antacids containing aluminum with acidic beverages (fruit juices, wine, etc.) may increase the intestinal absorption of aluminum. The same occurs with effervescent tablets containing citric or tartaric acid.

Pregnancy and lactation:

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

Driving and using machines:

Bemolan has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.

3. How to take Bemolan

Follow the administration instructions for the medicine contained in this package leaflet or as indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. In case of doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

The recommended dose is 800 mg to 2000 mg of gel (1 sachet of 800 mg or 1 sachet of 2000 mg) orally, depending on the intensity of the symptoms, 1 to 2 hours after main meals. In certain cases, another sachet can be taken before bedtime.

Before ingestion, it is essential to correctly remove the Bemolan sachet, pressing in different directions before opening it.

Observe the following diagram for handling the sachet:

Shake the device, press and tear the cover, bring to the mouth, press and extract the medicine

If symptoms worsen or persist after 7 days, you should consult your doctor.

If you take more Bemolan than you should:

It is recommended not to exceed the total daily amount of 8 grams of magaldrate.

Excessive doses or usual doses in patients with a phosphate-poor diet may lead to phosphorus loss, resulting in bone and calcium loss in the urine, with a risk of osteomalacia (softening of the bones).

No cases of overdose have been reported. In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medicine and the amount ingested.
