HI. So sad - you must have taken this is a preventive measure.
This is a known complication of Malerone.
You may take Ranitidine 150 twice a day, Any antispasmodic tablet like dicyclomin, antacid gel 3 tsf three hourly. Cold milk and / curds wonderfully help to alleviate the side effects. Avoid spicy food, no beverages, soft bland diet. These all will help you get better. Do not take this medicine again as it may cause more complications.
