How it works
Dried Aluminum Hydroxide and Magnesium Hydroxide reduces the amount of stomach acid and acts as an antacid. This, in turn, provides relief from symptoms such as heartburn, sour stomach, etc. Simethicone reduces excessive gas in the stomach and relieves symptoms such as stomach discomfort caused by gas, abdominal pain, and flatulence. Sodium Alginate prevents the acid refluxing into the esophagus.
