Suggested use
Take 1 softgel three times daily with water, 30 minutes to one hour before food. Discontinue use if heartburn occurs.

⚠ Key cautions
Cautions: can worsen or trigger reflux/heartburn (menthol relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter), so use with caution in GERD or hiatal hernia and stop if heartburn occurs. Avoid in gallbladder disease, bile-duct obstruction or achlorhydria (label caution in comparable products). Antacids, H2 blockers and PPIs can dissolve the enteric coating early, causing heartburn and reducing effect, so separate by at least 2 hours. Peppermint oil may inhibit CYP3A4 and raise levels of drugs such as cyclosporine (theoretical/limited evidence). Allergy: mint family (Lamiaceae); contains soybean oil and gelatin (not vegetarian). Label: consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, nursing or taking medications. Priority: Low-Moderate (reflux; acid-reducing medication spacing).
