Dicarbocalm with blackcurrant flavor is a drug from the antacid group. The active substances contained in the oral suspension neutralize gastric acidity, relieving the symptoms caused by hyperacidity.

Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility:
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to become pregnant, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

Task:
Due to the absorption of aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide into the blood, Dicarbocalm with blackcurrant flavor should not be used during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary. It is recommended to avoid long-term administration and high doses.
Aluminum salts can cause constipation that can worsen the constipation characteristic of pregnancy; they can also cause, at high doses, a decrease in phosphorus in the blood.
The absorption of aluminum should be considered minimal if the recommended doses are respected, but if the doses are not respected and especially in the case of renal failure of the pregnant woman, there is a risk of aluminum poisoning of the fetus and the newborn.
Magnesium salts can cause diarrhea; at high doses or in case of prolonged treatment there is a risk of hypermagnesemia (increased level of magnesium in the blood).

Breastfeeding:
Breastfeeding is not contraindicated during treatment with Dicarbocalm with blackcurrant flavor.
