Maalox Plus Syrup 180 ml

Description:

Maalox Plus Syrup 180 ml is an oral antacid and antiflatulent medicine designed to relieve symptoms of heartburn, acid indigestion, hyperacidity, and gas-related discomfort. It combines aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide to neutralize excess stomach acid, while simethicone helps break up and disperse gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract. This balanced formulation provides rapid, soothing relief from burning pain, bloating, and fullness associated with acid reflux and gas. Suitable for adults and adolescents as directed by a healthcare professional.

Indications:

• Relief of heartburn and acid indigestion.
• Symptomatic treatment of hyperacidity and sour stomach.
• Relief of epigastric pain and burning sensation due to excess gastric acid.
• Management of bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort associated with trapped gas.
• Relief of post-meal fullness and pressure caused by excess gas in the gastrointestinal tract.
• Adjunctive therapy in conditions where reduction of gastric acidity and gas relief is beneficial, as advised by a doctor.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Aluminium hydroxide – concentration per 5 ml dose not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.) (commonly acts as an antacid by neutralizing gastric acid).
• Magnesium hydroxide – concentration per 5 ml dose not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.) (functions as an antacid and mild osmotic laxative).
• Simethicone – concentration per 5 ml dose not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.) (acts as an antiflatulent by dispersing gas bubbles).
• Other excipients: Not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.) (may include flavoring agents, suspending agents, preservatives, and purified water).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• This product is for oral use only.
• Adults and adolescents (as generally used for antacid suspensions): Typically taken 1–2 teaspoons (5–10 ml) as needed, preferably after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by a physician. Exact dosing for this specific pack is not provided in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.); always follow the package insert or doctor’s instructions.
• Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure uniform suspension.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides rapid relief from heartburn and acid indigestion by neutralizing excess gastric acid in the stomach.

• Relieves bloating, gas, and abdominal pressure by dispersing and preventing gas pockets in the gastrointestinal tract.
• Combines aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide for a balanced antacid effect, helping to improve gastric pH without excessive constipation or diarrhea in most users.
• Improves overall digestive comfort after heavy, spicy, or fatty meals that may trigger acidity and gas.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, simethicone, or any other component of the formulation.
• Use with caution in patients with renal impairment or renal failure, as accumulation of aluminium and magnesium may occur, potentially leading to toxicity.
• Patients on a magnesium- or aluminium-restricted diet should consult their doctor before use.
• Prolonged or excessive use may alter electrolyte balance and should be avoided unless under medical supervision.
• May interact with the absorption of certain oral medications (e.g., some antibiotics, iron salts, thyroid hormones); separate administration times by at least 2 hours or as advised by a healthcare professional.

• Less common effects may include nausea, stomach cramps, or an unpleasant taste.
• In patients with impaired kidney function, prolonged use may lead to elevated magnesium or aluminium levels, potentially causing weakness, bone problems, or other systemic effects.
