My question is, can I take kremil s ( simethicone )antacid/ antiflatulence?is it okay for my kidneys? My stomach Hurts whenever I have food intake and also upon discharge. Please help. Thanks
Hi thanks for asking question. You have not mentioned cause of acute kidney injury and its course. This antacid having very few side effects according to various study. It can lead allergic side effect. Its effect on kidney not well mentioned in studies. But it is safe to take. You can take it. Here you have stomach pain mainly because of gastritis or small ulcer. Omeprazole can be taken for it. Avoid spicy food. Avoid smoking and alcoholize small meals. Avoid heavy fatty diet for few days. If still gastric problem increasing then after doctor consultation suitable antibiotic can be given. If still problem USG abdomen done. Wish you good health
