MEGACID-O SUSPENSION

Alginic acid is a natural carbohydrate that comes from algae in seaweed. It helps create a foam barrier to coat the stomach. In the treatment of GERD, the combination of alginic acid and antacids lead to reduced acid reflux and symptomatic improvement. Dried Aluminum Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide, Magnesium trisilicate are antacids used together to relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach. They may be used to treat these symptoms in patients with peptic ulcer, gastritis, esophagitis, hiatal hernia, or too much acid in the stomach (gastric hyperacidity). They combine with stomach acid and neutralize it. Simethicone is a known anti-flatulent agent used to reduce bloating, discomfort or pain caused by excessive gas. Oxetacaine is a potent local anesthetic. It is administered orally (usually in combination with an antacid) for the relief of pain associated with peptic ulcer disease or esophagitis. Unlike most local anesthetics, Oxetacaine is active even in strongly acidic conditions.
