Verified Ingredients and Effects

Uses:

Acidity, heartburn, gas, stomach ulcers

Medicinal Benefits:

Aciloc-S Sugar Free Suspension belongs to a group of antacids, antiulcerants used to treat acidity, heartburn, gas, and stomach ulcers. Aciloc-S Sugar Free Suspension is a combination of three drugs: Magaldrate (antacid), Simethicone (anti-flatulent), and Oxetacaine (Local anaesthetic). Magaldrate works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone is a mixture of silica gel and dimethicone. It is also known as activated dimethicone. Simethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract. Oxetacaine exerts a numbing effect, thereby providing relief from pain due to ulcers or acidic injury in the stomach.
