Sustained Acid Buffering
Magaldrate (400mg) is a unique chemical combination of aluminum and magnesium hydroxides. Unlike simple mixtures, it acts as a "buffer," maintaining the stomach pH between 3 and 5 for an extended period, which is the ideal range for healing the gastric mucosa without causing acid rebound. Effective Gas Clearance: Simethicone (20mg) is a non-systemic surfactant that collapses the surface tension of gas bubbles in the stomach. This allows smaller bubbles to merge into larger ones that are easily expelled, quickly relieving the "tightness" and pressure of bloating.
