Description: 

• An oral chewable tablet used to provide rapid, temporary relief from symptoms of hyperacidity, heartburn, acid indigestion, bloating, and gastrointestinal gas.

Prescription: 

• Over-the-counter (OTC).

Therapeutic Category: 

• Antacid and Anti-flatulent combination. 

Composition & Nutrition

• Active Ingredients/Composition: Each chewable tablet typically supplies a balanced trio:
  • Aluminum Hydroxide (Dried Gel): Neutralizes gastric hydrochloric acid to relieve esophageal and stomach lining irritation.
  • Magnesium Hydroxide: Acts as a co-antacid to maximize acid neutralization capacity.
  • Simethicone: An anti-foaming agent that decreases the surface tension of gas bubbles, causing them to collapse for easier elimination. 
• Vitamins: None. This is a strictly mineral-chemical formulation with no added vitamins. 

Minerals: 

• Provides chemical compounds of Aluminum and Magnesium. It contains no nutritional dietary macro-minerals. 

Usage & Forms

Variant: 

• 20 Tablets Box (usually packaged in convenient pocket strips). It is also widely distributed by Luex as a 100ml and 200ml oral liquid suspension. 

Consume Type: 

• Oral use only (must be chewed thoroughly before swallowing). 
• Directions/Usage:
  • Adults and Children over 12 years: Chew 1 to 2 tablets thoroughly 1 to 3 hours after main meals and right at bedtime, or precisely when symptoms strike.
  • Crucial Rule: Do not swallow the tablet whole. Chew it completely to ensure the powder spreads evenly in the stomach for rapid acid relief. Follow with a glass of water if desired. 

Safety & Storage

• Common Side Effects: Highly safe when used as directed. The combination balances bowel effects, but some users may still experience mild constipation (from aluminum) or mild diarrhea (from magnesium). 

Package Type:

•  Blister packs containing 20 chewable tablets housed inside a commercial cardboard box. 

Storage Advice: 

• Store at room temperature below 25°C to 30°C in a dry place. Keep the strips protected from humidity and heat, and keep completely out of reach of children. 
• Safety Advice:
  • Do not take the maximum recommended daily dose for longer than 2 consecutive weeks without consulting a physician.
  • Kidney Warning: Avoid use or consult a doctor if you suffer from severe kidney failure, as your body cannot filter out excess aluminum or magnesium, leading to toxic buildup.
  • Drug Separation Rule: Antacids significantly block the body’s ability to absorb other oral drugs. Separate this medication by at least 2 hours from antibiotics (like tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones), iron supplements, or heart medications.
  • Consult your doctor before using if you are pregnant, especially during the first trimester.
