Drug Overview

Quality Choice is a children's stomach relief product that comes in the form of chewable tablets flavored like bubblegum. Each tablet contains 400 mg of calcium carbonate, which acts as an antacid to help relieve common stomach issues. It is designed to alleviate symptoms such as acid indigestion, heartburn, sour stomach, and upset stomach, making it a helpful option for kids experiencing discomfort.

Uses

If you're experiencing discomfort from heartburn, acid indigestion, or a sour stomach, this medication can help relieve those symptoms. It is also effective for soothing an upset stomach that may be associated with these issues.

You can feel confident using this medication, as there are no known teratogenic effects (which means it doesn't cause birth defects) or nonteratogenic effects reported.

Dosage and Administration

To determine the right dose for you or your child, first check the dosing chart based on weight, which is preferred, or age if weight isn’t available. For children aged 2 to 5 years who weigh between 24 and 47 pounds, the recommended dose is 1 chewable tablet. For those aged 6 to 11 years who weigh between 48 and 95 pounds, the dose is 2 chewable tablets. If your child is under 2 years old and weighs less than 24 pounds, it’s best to consult a doctor for guidance.

When taking the chewable tablets, make sure to chew or crush them completely before swallowing; do not swallow them whole. You can repeat the dose as needed, but be cautious not to exceed the maximum limit of 3 chewable tablets for children aged 2 to 5, or 6 chewable tablets for those aged 6 to 11, within a 24-hour period. Additionally, avoid using the maximum dosage for more than two weeks unless directed by a doctor.

What to Avoid

It's important to be aware of certain guidelines when using this medication. While there are no specific contraindications or concerns about abuse, misuse, or dependence (which means relying on a substance in a harmful way), you should stop using the medication and consult your doctor if your symptoms persist for more than two weeks. This ensures that you receive the appropriate care and support for your health needs.

Side Effects

If you experience any symptoms while using this medication that last more than two weeks, it’s important to stop using it and consult your doctor. This is a precaution to ensure your safety and well-being. Always pay attention to how you feel and seek medical advice if you have concerns.

Warnings and Precautions

Before using this medication, it's important to consult with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if your child is currently taking any prescription drugs, as antacids can interact with certain medications.

If your symptoms persist for more than two weeks, you should stop taking the medication and reach out to your doctor for further guidance. While there are no specific emergency instructions provided, always seek immediate medical help if you experience severe or concerning symptoms.

Overdose

If you suspect an overdose, it's important to stay calm and take immediate action.

If you notice any of these signs, or if you are unsure, seek medical help right away.

In case of an overdose, contact your local emergency services or go to the nearest hospital. It's always better to be safe and get checked by a healthcare professional if you have any concerns about your health. Remember, timely intervention can make a significant difference.

To ensure your safety and the effectiveness of your treatments, always discuss any medications, including over-the-counter products like antacids, with your healthcare provider. They can help you understand potential interactions and adjust your treatment plan if necessary.

Storage and Handling

To ensure the best performance of your product, store it at room temperature, ideally around 25ºC (77ºF). It’s acceptable for the temperature to vary between 15ºC and 30ºC (59ºF to 86ºF), but try to avoid exposing it to excessive humidity, as this can affect its quality.

Always check the end flap of the packaging for the expiration date and lot number, which are important for tracking the product's safety and effectiveness. By following these simple storage and handling guidelines, you can help maintain the integrity of the product.
