It is used in adults and children (3 to 18 years old) to heal and stop ulcers in the stomach or duodenum (part of the gut it empties into) and indigestion, dyspepsia or heartburn (problems caused by acid in the food pipe or too much acid in the stomach, causing pain or discomfort).

RANTOP SYRUP is also used in adults to help clear up any stomach infection when taken with antibiotics, to stop stomach ulcers when they are a side effect of some medicines, to stop ulcers from bleeding and to stop acid reflux from the stomach while under anaesthetic during an operation.

Avoid smoking during management with RANTOP SYRUP. Before taking RANTOP SYRUP, inform your doctor if you have stomach cancer, liver, kidney, lung or immunity problems, acute porphyria (a rare blood disorder) or diabetes.

The most common side effects of taking RANTOP SYRUP are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain and headache. Call your doctor if the symptoms do not improve or worsen.
