FAQ
Q1: How soon can I expect relief after taking Polycrol Xpress?
Ans: In most cases, relief starts within seconds. The fast-acting formula is designed to quickly ease acidity and gas, so you’re not left waiting.
Q2: Can children use it too?
Ans: For children, it’s best to check with a doctor first. While it’s an over-the-counter product, the dosage and suitability can vary depending on age and medical history.
Q3: Do I have to take Polycrol Xpress only after meals?
Ans: Not necessarily. You can take it whenever symptoms of acidity or gas show up—whether that’s after a meal or in the middle of the day.
Q4: Will it make me feel drowsy or tired?
Ans: Not at all. Polycrol Xpress doesn’t contain ingredients that cause drowsiness, so you can go about your day as usual.
Q5: Can I take this along with my other medications?
Ans: It’s best to keep a 1–2 hour gap between Polycrol and any other medicine, as antacids can interfere with how some medicines are absorbed.
Q6: How often can I take it in a day?
Ans: Use Polycrol Xpress Relief as and when needed, but don’t go beyond the recommended daily dose.
Q7: Does it help with gas and bloating too, or just acidity?
Ans: Yes, it helps with both. With its simethicone content, Polycrol Xpress can also help alleviate that uncomfortable gassy, bloated feeling.
Q8: Can I use Polycrol Xpress Relief every day?
Ans: You can, occasionally. But if you find yourself needing it every single day, it’s a good idea to get checked by a doctor. Persistent acidity could signal something more.
Q9: Can I still eat spicy or oily food while using Polycrol Xpress?
Ans: You can—but if you’re prone to acidity, cutting back on such foods might help reduce your symptoms in the first place.
Q10: What should I do if my symptoms don’t improve?
Ans: If things aren’t getting better after a few days—or if symptoms return often—it’s best to consult a healthcare professional rather than continuing self-medication.
