CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE

About

CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE belongs to a group of medicines called 'antacids' used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and stomach upset. The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, the mucous layer gets eroded due to excess acid production, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn.

CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE is a combination of four drugs: Calcium Carbonate, Simethicone, Magnesium Trisilicate and Magnesium Hydroxide. Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Trisilicate and Magnesium Hydroxide work by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone decreases the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). Together, CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE relieves acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (stomach inflammation), and stomach upset.

Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE for as long as recommended. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as constipation, loss of appetite, weakness and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Inform your doctor before taking CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE if you have low phosphate levels, high magnesium levels, or kidney or liver problems. Consult your doctor before taking CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE should be given to children only if advised by the doctor. Avoid consuming alcohol, as it could lead to increased acidity.

    Patients Concern

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, the mucous layer gets eroded due to excess acid production, leading to acidity complications. Due to this, acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing. Indigestion is the feeling of fullness. It occurs due to slow gastric emptying. Symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, heartburn, nausea and vomiting.
