What GastroRelief Suspension is used
for
GastroRelief Suspension is used for the
relief of gastric and discomforts of peptic
ulcer, heartburn, dyspepsia (indigestion)
and acid reflux. It also helps to relieve
gastrointestinal conditions caused by
excessive gas (flatulence).
How GastroRelief Suspension works
GastroRelief Suspension contains
Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium
Hydroxide which can react with
hydrochloric acid and convert to their
respective chloride salts in the stomach.
They reduce gastric acidity by
neutralizing secreted gastric acid.
Simethicone with its antifoam properties
allows mucus-surrounded gas bubbles in
the GI tract to coalesce and be expelled.
