1. What Manti Extra is and what it is used for

Manti Extra is a combination of three active substances: famotidine, used to reduce hydrochloric acid production in the stomach, and two acid-neutralizing agents (reducing gastric acid concentration) – calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide. Manti Extra is intended to relieve symptoms of indigestion or gastric hyperacidity.
The active substances in Manti Extra work in two ways: calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide act by rapidly neutralizing excess acid already produced in the stomach, providing fast relief from pain, while famotidine inhibits hydrochloric acid production in the stomach and exerts a longer-lasting effect, reducing gastric acidity for 10–12 hours. The combination of these two actions effectively maintains normal acidity in the stomach, allowing relief of irritated mucosa.
Manti Extra is used in adults and adolescents over 16 years of age for short-term symptomatic treatment of discomfort associated with gastric hyperacidity, such as:

  • heartburn,
  • indigestion,
  • epigastric pain and burning.

2. Important information before taking Manti Extra
When not to use Manti Extra

  • if you are allergic to famotidine, magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
  • if you are allergic to other drugs reducing hydrochloric acid concentration (such as ranitidine, cimetidine, etc.);
  • if you have renal insufficiency;
  • children and adolescents under 16 years of age should not take Manti Extra;
  • if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Warnings and precautions
Before starting to take Manti Extra, discuss with your doctor or pharmacist if you have:

  • chest pain (or in shoulder area), shallow breathing, sweating, radiating pain to upper limbs, neck, arms, or jaw (especially if accompanied by difficulty breathing);
  • difficulty swallowing or pain during swallowing;
  • dizziness, nausea, vomiting;
  • vomiting blood or vomit resembling coffee grounds;
  • bleeding or blood in stool, black stools;
  • heartburn lasting longer than 3 months;
  • heartburn associated with pain, dizziness, and excessive sweating;
  • persistent abdominal pain;
  • unintended weight loss;
  • if you are over 40 years old and have recently developed new or changed symptoms of indigestion or heartburn.

Precautions
Contact your doctor:

  • if you have gastric or duodenal ulcer, a malignant condition should be excluded (Manti Extra, by relieving symptoms, may delay diagnosis of underlying disease);
  • if you are taking other medications used to treat gastric hyperacidity;
  • if you are taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs);
  • if you have previously experienced peptic ulcer or alarming symptoms such as unintentional weight loss, difficulty swallowing, recurrent vomiting, bloody or coffee-ground-like vomiting, tarry stools;
  • if you have confirmed hypercalcemia (increased calcium levels in the body), as the product contains calcium;
  • if you have confirmed hypophosphatemia (decreased phosphorus levels in the body), as the product may worsen this condition;
  • if you have confirmed hypercalciuria (increased calcium excretion in urine) or urinary tract stones;
  • if you have impaired kidney function, the product should be administered only under medical supervision, and serum calcium and magnesium levels should be monitored;
  • if you have impaired liver or kidney function, Manti Extra should be used with caution;
  • in case of prolonged use, especially during treatment with other calcium-containing drugs and/or vitamin D supplements, due to the risk of elevated blood calcium levels and subsequent development of kidney failure.

If symptoms do not improve after 15 days of continuous treatment or if they worsen,
contact your doctor.
Children and adolescents
Children and adolescents under 16 years of age should not take Manti Extra.
