Eno (drug)

Eno is a brand name for an over-the-counter antacid medication, primarily used to relieve symptoms of indigestion, heartburn, and upset stomach. Its active ingredients typically include sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, and sodium carbonate. When dissolved in water, these ingredients react to produce carbon dioxide, which helps to neutralize stomach acid and provide temporary relief from discomfort. The effervescent action also aids in dissolving the ingredients quickly.

Eno is available in powdered form and is designed to be mixed with water before consumption. It is generally used for the short-term relief of mild digestive issues. Regular or prolonged use is discouraged without consulting a medical professional, as it can interfere with the absorption of certain medications and may have adverse effects on individuals with specific health conditions, such as high blood pressure or kidney problems.
