Magnesium Hydroxide+simethicone+sodium Carboxymethylcellulose+dried Aluminium Hydroxide Gel
About
Magnesium Hydroxide+simethicone+sodium Carboxymethylcellulose+dried Aluminium Hydroxide Gel belongs to a group of medicines called antacids used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), stomach upset, and bloating. The abdomen is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn.
Magnesium Hydroxide+simethicone+sodium Carboxymethylcellulose+dried Aluminium Hydroxide Gel is a combination of four drugs: Dried aluminium hydroxide gel, magnesium hydroxide, simethicone, and sodium carboxymethylcellulose. Dried aluminium hydroxide gel and magnesium hydroxide work by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). Sodium carboxymethylcellulose forms a protective barrier, thereby preventing irritation due to acid. Together, Magnesium Hydroxide+simethicone+sodium Carboxymethylcellulose+dried Aluminium Hydroxide Gel provides relief from acidity.
Take Magnesium Hydroxide+simethicone+sodium Carboxymethylcellulose+dried Aluminium Hydroxide Gel as advised by the doctor. Sometimes, you may experience common side effects, such as constipation and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Consult your doctor before taking Magnesium Hydroxide+simethicone+sodium Carboxymethylcellulose+dried Aluminium Hydroxide Gel if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid consuming alcohol, as it could lead to increased acidity. Inform your doctor regarding other medicines you are taking to prevent any side effects/interactions.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity. Due to this, acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing. Indigestion is the feeling of fullness. It occurs due to slow gastric emptying. Symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, heartburn, nausea and vomiting.
