DIOVOL + GEL 170ML

About

This gel formulation is a comprehensive combination antacid and anti-flatulent medication, designed to provide rapid and effective relief from a range of digestive discomforts. It typically contains active ingredients such as aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, which work synergistically to neutralize excess stomach acid. Aluminum hydroxide helps to counteract the acidic environment, while magnesium hydroxide contributes to the neutralization process and helps to balance the potential constipating effect of aluminum. The inclusion of simethicone is crucial for its anti-flatulent action; simethicone works by breaking down gas bubbles in the digestive tract, thereby reducing bloating, pressure, and discomfort caused by trapped gas. This multi-faceted approach ensures that the medication addresses not only heartburn and acid indigestion but also the associated symptoms of bloating and flatulence, providing holistic relief for various forms of dyspepsia and promoting overall gastrointestinal comfort.
