Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Lecicarbon Junior acts on the digestive system to alleviate acid‑related discomfort and promote bowel movements.
  • Heartburn: rapid neutralisation of gastric acid provides relief of acid reflux symptoms.
  • Constipation: phosphate‑driven osmotic activity draws water into the rectum, facilitating soft stool passage.
  • Acid indigestion: reduces acidity in the stomach, easing discomfort after meals.

How It Works

  • Sodium hydrogen carbonate neutralises gastric hydrogen ions, raising gastric pH and reducing acidity, while sodium dihydrogen phosphate creates an osmotic gradient in the rectal lumen that draws water into the bowel, softening stool and promoting peristalsis for laxation.

Side Effects

Lecicarbon Junior may cause mild to moderate adverse reactions, most of which resolve without intervention.

Common Side Effects

  • Mild rectal irritation or burning sensation.
  • Abdominal cramping or mild pain.
  • Flatulence or increased gas.
  • Nausea or mild upset stomach.
  • Loose stools or mild diarrhea.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe rectal bleeding.
  • Electrolyte imbalance (e.g., hyperphosphatemia).
  • Allergic reaction such as rash, itching, or anaphylaxis.
  • Persistent severe abdominal pain.
  • Unexplained dizziness or fainting.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Before using Lecicarbon Junior, consider the following safety measures.
  • Allergy Check: avoid if known hypersensitivity to sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, or formulation excipients.
  • Renal Impairment: use with caution in patients with severe kidney disease due to phosphate load.
  • Electrolyte Monitoring: prolonged use may affect serum electrolytes; monitor as appropriate.
  • Pediatric Use: administer only under medical supervision for children.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: consult a healthcare professional before use.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

  • Oral antibiotics: changes in gut flora may modify antibiotic efficacy.
  • Iron supplements: reduced iron absorption when taken concurrently.
  • Calcium supplements: may diminish antacid effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lecicarbon Junior is an over‑the‑counter rectal solution that combines sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium dihydrogen phosphate to provide rapid relief from heartburn and to act as an osmotic laxative for occasional constipation.

Sodium hydrogen carbonate neutralises excess gastric hydrogen ions, raising stomach pH and reducing acidity, which alleviates heartburn. In the rectum, sodium dihydrogen phosphate creates an osmotic gradient that draws water into the bowel, softening stool and promoting evacuation.

The appropriate dose of Lecicarbon Junior is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, condition severity, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label.

Safety data for Lecicarbon Junior in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should consult their healthcare provider before using this product.

To order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Lecicarbon Junior offers a combined antacid and laxative effect in a single rectal formulation, which can be advantageous for patients who need both heartburn relief and constipation management without oral intake. Other products may provide only one of these actions or require separate dosing.

Store Lecicarbon Junior at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the container tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure it is out of reach of children.

Lecicarbon Junior is applied rectally as a liquid solution. The prescribed amount is measured using the supplied dropper or syringe and gently introduced into the rectum, typically after a bowel movement or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Serious risks include severe rectal bleeding, electrolyte disturbances such as hyperphosphatemia, and allergic reactions that may manifest as rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if any of these occur.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, or any excipients in the formulation should avoid using Lecicarbon Junior. It is also contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment or those advised against rectal administration by a clinician.
