Magaldrate + Simethicone | (480 mg+20 mg)/5 ml of Magaldrate and Simethicone is indicated for the symptomatic relief of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders and excess gas. It is recommended for the treatment of:
- Dyspepsia (indigestion)
- Heartburn
- Acid indigestion
- Sour stomach
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Hiatal hernia
- Hyperacidity associated with peptic ulcer disease
- Gastritis
- Esophagitis
- Flatulence
- Abdominal bloating (distension)
- Windy colic
This formulation combines the antacid activity of Magaldrate with the antiflatulent properties of Simethicone.
Magaldrate (Hydroxymagnesium Aluminate) is a magnesium-aluminum complex that rapidly neutralizes excess gastric acid while maintaining the gastric pH within the physiological range (approximately pH 5–6). This helps relieve symptoms of hyperacidity without causing excessive alkalinization. In addition, Magaldrate reduces the activity of pepsin, thereby minimizing acid-related irritation of the gastric mucosa.
Simethicone is an inert anti-foaming agent that lowers the surface tension of gas bubbles within the gastrointestinal tract, allowing smaller bubbles to combine into larger ones that are more easily expelled. This action helps relieve abdominal bloating, flatulence, and discomfort caused by excessive intestinal gas.
Magaldrate-containing preparations may also be used in children when considered appropriate by the treating physician.
Use this medicine only as prescribed by a registered physician.
- 2–4 teaspoonfuls (10–20 ml)
- Take 20–60 minutes after meals and at bedtime, or as prescribed by the physician.
To minimize the risk of interactions, administer this antacid at least 2 hours before or after other oral medications whenever possible.
