• Treatment of hyperacidity and acid indigestion.
• Symptomatic relief of epigastric pain and burning sensation in the stomach and esophagus.
• Relief of sour stomach, bloating, and discomfort associated with excessive gastric acid.
• Adjunctive therapy in conditions where reduction of gastric acidity is desired, as prescribed by a physician.

Clinical Benefits:

• Rapid neutralization of excess gastric acid, helping to relieve heartburn and acid indigestion.
• Increases gastric pH and reduces pepsin activity, decreasing irritation of the stomach and esophageal mucosa.
• Provides soothing local anesthetic effect via oxethazine, reducing pain, burning, and discomfort in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
• Helps improve overall digestive comfort and reduces symptoms such as sour taste, regurgitation, and upper abdominal discomfort.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use if you are allergic to aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, oxethazine, or any of the other components of the suspension.
