GASPAZ TAB. 10

About

GASPAZ TAB. is an antacid and anti-flatulent combination medication designed to provide rapid relief from symptoms of indigestion, heartburn, and excessive gas. It typically combines an antacid component, such as aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, with simethicone. The antacids work by neutralizing excess stomach acid, thereby reducing the burning sensation of heartburn and acid indigestion. They act locally in the stomach to raise the pH, providing quick symptomatic relief.

Simethicone, on the other hand, is an anti-foaming agent that works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract. This causes the small gas bubbles to coalesce into larger bubbles, which are then more easily passed or absorbed, relieving bloating, pressure, and discomfort caused by trapped gas. The combined action of these ingredients offers comprehensive relief for common digestive complaints, making it an effective choice for occasional gastric distress.
