Miscelleneous
How it works
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. Magnesium Trisilicate also reduces stomach acid. Oxetacaine inhibits acid secretion in the stomach to reduce the pain and irritation associated with peptic ulcers and other diseases of the stomach and intestines.
