Q: Is it safe to take Dinstenil for treating acidity? Can I take it thrice a day after every meal?

A:Antacids (like Dinstenil) are helpful when the stomach is empty since hyperacidity is most troublesome when there is no food. Food (bland, not spicy) itself acts as a buffer against acidity. It is not compulsory to take antacids three times a day; they can be taken as and when required.
