Suspension
170 ml

Magaldrate (400mg/540mg) and Simethicone (20mg/50mg, with or without Oxetacaine 10mg) Oral Suspension is a balanced antacid, antiflatulent, and mucosal anesthetic formulation. Magaldrate (hydroxymagnesium aluminate complex) reacts rapidly with gastric acid to buffer intragastric pH to the ideal 3.0-5.0 range, neutralizing acid without causing acid rebound. Simethicone breaks mucosal gas bubbles to relieve bloating. Oxetacaine (when present) provides prompt topical anesthesia on inflamed gastric and esophageal mucosa. Indicated for hyperacidity, heartburn, reflux esophagitis, gastritis, and peptic ulcer pain with flatulence.
