Homecare Baroscon Double Action

Homecare Baroscon Double Action is an over-the-counter (OTC) dual-action antacid oral suspension sold in Malaysia, combining Aluminium Hydroxide with Simethicone (an anti-foaming agent) in a single liquid formulation. It is a YSP-manufactured product marketed under the Homecare house brand, presented as pre-measured 10ml sachets.

Each carton of Homecare Baroscon Double Action typically contains 24 sachets of 10ml each, making it convenient to carry and dose without needing a separate measuring device. The suspension has a smooth, drinkable consistency typical of liquid antacid preparations. A chewable tablet variant is also sold under the same Baroscon brand name, but this product is specifically the suspension in sachet form.

As an OTC product, Homecare Baroscon Double Action can be purchased from registered Malaysian pharmacies without a doctor’s prescription. Always check the printed batch number and expiry date on the carton before purchase, and read the enclosed product information for full usage details.

Tear open one sachet along the marked edge. Take the contents of the sachet directly by mouth, or as advised by a pharmacist. Take the dose after meals and at bedtime, or when symptoms occur. Knead the sachet gently before opening if the suspension appears to have separated.

The typical adult dose is one sachet (10ml) taken after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by a pharmacist. Do not exceed the maximum number of sachets stated on the packaging within a 24-hour period. Dosing for children should only be carried out under medical or pharmacist supervision. If symptoms persist for more than a few days despite regular use, stop self-treating and consult a doctor or pharmacist.
