Alginic acid forms an alginate foam raft on top of the gastric contents thereby reducing the influx of acidic gastric contents into the oesophagus. Magnesium Hydroxide, Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium Trisilicate neutralise the acid in the stomach in order to increase the pH with attendant relief of pain. Simethiconereduces bloating, discomfort or pain caused by excessive gas, mainly swallowed air, with small amounts of hydrogen and methane. The product is therefore generally indicated for the relief of indigestion (dyspepsia), Heartburn, Wind (flatulence) and also serves as an adjunct in the management of gastric and duodenal ulcers.
