DIOVOL FORTE PLUS GEL 450ML

About

DIOVOL FORTE PLUS GEL is a robust antacid formulation engineered to deliver rapid and sustained relief from a spectrum of upper gastrointestinal symptoms, including indigestion, heartburn, and acid reflux. Its core active ingredients, typically aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, work synergistically to neutralize excessive stomach acid, thereby reducing the burning sensation and discomfort. The "PLUS" designation signifies the inclusion of simethicone, an effective anti-foaming agent. Simethicone functions by breaking down trapped gas bubbles in the digestive tract, which significantly reduces bloating, pressure, and discomfort caused by flatulence. This comprehensive combination provides a dual-action approach, effectively addressing both acid-related irritation and gas-related symptoms, leading to enhanced digestive comfort and overall well-being.
