In Treatment of Stomach ulcers

Stomach ulcers are painful sores that develop in the inner lining of the stomach or gut (intestine).

You need to keep taking Zevacid A Oral Suspension as prescribed by the doctor for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.

In Treatment of Bloating
