Description

Aluminium hydroxide and Magnesium hydroxide are antacids that bring about their action by neutralization of hydrochloric acid in the gastric secretions. Simethicone (Activated methyl polysiloxane) is an antifoam/antigas agent; it acts by lowering surface tension when administered by mouth, causes bubbles of gas in the GIT to coalesce thus aiding their dispersion.
