Heartburn As A Side Effect? I have been on this for one week, 25mg X twice a day. A few minutes after taking it last night, I started with uncomfortable heart burn. As of almost 11am today, the heartburn is not any better. Anyone have a similar experience? Also, the sensation in my mouth (almost mint like) is really hard on me. Do these come coated or anything?

Minty Novospiroton I have been taking this drug 25mg X2 daily for over 5 years. Latest refill has more than usual mint smell and causes stomach gas and belching (wreaking and tasting of mint) along with heartburn ten minutes after ingesting. After this reaction upon taking this drug on this recent refill, I reverted to taking 2 days worth of previous refill (filled one month ago). No stomach upset or reaction. After this 2-day reprieve, I began taking once again the new refill. Again stomach belching, upset and gassy heartburn returned. Upon query by me to my pharmacist, I was told there was no apparent difference in either the supplier (drug company) or appearance, therefore, he then dispensed spirotonlactone through a different drug company.
