ACTIVATED DIMETHICONE+ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE belongs to a group of medicines called antacids used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and stomach upset. The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn.

ACTIVATED DIMETHICONE+ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE is a combination of three drugs: Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium hydroxide and Activated dimethicone. Aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide belong to a group of antacids, whereas activated dimethicone belongs to antiflatulents. Aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Activated dimethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract.
