Entacyd Plus (Aluminium Hydroxide 400mg + Magnesium Hydroxide 400mg + Simethicone 30mg) is indicated for symptomatic relief of hyperacidity associated with peptic ulcer, gastritis, peptic oesophagitis, gastric hyperacidity, heartburn, sour stomach, or hiatus hernia. It is effective in the prevention of stress ulceration and GI bleeding. It acts as an antiflatulent to alleviate the symptoms of gas including post-operative gas pain. Entacyd Plus rapidly relieves acid pain, disperses gastric foam, and facilitates the eructation of gas and air.
- Aluminium Hydroxide + Magnesium Hydroxide + Simethicone is a medication that falls under the antacid category and is used to manage heartburn, acidity, indigestion, stomach upset, and gastritis, which are caused by the erosion of the mucous layer due to excess acid production. The drug is a combination of three components – aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and simethicone.
- The antacids function by neutralizing excess stomach acid, while simethicone reduces the surface tension of gas bubbles, promoting their expulsion through belching or flatus.
- The medication should be taken as prescribed by a physician based on the patient’s medical condition.
- Side effects such as constipation, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and weakness may occur but are generally not serious. If they persist, however, medical attention should be sought.
- Before using the medication, inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, high magnesium levels, or low phosphate levels.
- Pregnant or nursing women should consult a doctor before taking the medication.
- The safety of Aluminium Hydroxide + Magnesium Hydroxide + Simethicone in children has not been established. Alcohol consumption should be avoided while taking the medication as it may lead to increased acidity.
