Table of contents:

ENO Regular powder is an antacid medication that provides temporary relief from heartburn, acid reflux, sour stomach, and upset stomach. It works by neutralizing the excess acid in the stomach and is available in pre-packaged sachets or bulk containers of powder.

Eno Regular contains sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, and sodium carbonate which react with the acid in the stomach to form carbon dioxide gas, sodium citrate, and water. It works by neutralizing excess stomach acid, which can cause heartburn and indigestion. This reaction helps to reduce the acidity of the stomach and provides relief from symptoms of heartburn and acidity.

Use and Dosage

ENO Regular powder comes in the form of a powdered salt that is intended to be mixed with water and consumed either before or after meals. Additionally, drinking plenty of water during a flare-up of ulcerative colitis may be helpful in managing symptoms and preventing further irritation.

Dosage and frequency of use may vary depending on the severity of symptoms and individual health status. Follow the instructions on the package and speak to a healthcare professional if you have any questions.

Follow these steps to use ENO Regular powder effectively:

  1. Fill a glass with room temperature water.
  2. Dissolve 1 sachet or 1 teaspoon (4.2 grams) of Eno powder into the water.
  3. Do not dissolve Eno in any other liquids.
  4. Drink Eno after meals or when experiencing heartburn or acid reflux.
  5. Wait for 2 to 3 hours before taking another dose of Eno powder.
  6. Take the Eno powder once it has dissolved in water.

Take Eno only 2 times a day for a maximum of 14 days. If symptoms persist after 14 days, stop taking Eno and consult a doctor. Eno is a symptom relief medication and doesn't prevent acidity. Taking Eno more than 2 times a day can cause alkalosis and change blood ph.

Remember, Eno provides relief for heartburn and acid reflux symptoms but doesn't prevent acidity. Always follow the recommended dosage and speak to a doctor if symptoms persist.
