ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM ALUMINIUM SILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+SIMETHICONE 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 acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, the mucous layer gets eroded due to excess acid production, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn.
ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM ALUMINIUM SILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+SIMETHICONE is a combination of four drugs: Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium hydroxide, Magnesium silicate and Simethicone. Aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and magnesium silicate belong to a group of antacids. Aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and magnesium silicate work by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone is anti-flatulent which works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping).
