GELUSIL MPS LIQ 170ML

About

Gelusil MPS Liquid is an antacid and anti-flatulent suspension formulated to provide rapid and effective relief from symptoms associated with excess stomach acid. It typically contains a combination of active ingredients such as Aluminum Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide, and Simethicone. Aluminum and Magnesium Hydroxide work synergistically to neutralize gastric acid, thereby reducing heartburn and indigestion. Simethicone acts as an anti-foaming agent, breaking down gas bubbles in the digestive tract, which helps to alleviate bloating, pressure, and discomfort caused by trapped gas. This formulation offers a balanced approach to managing gastrointestinal distress.

The liquid form ensures quick dispersion and coating of the esophageal and gastric lining, providing prompt symptomatic relief. It is designed for non-systemic action, meaning it primarily works within the digestive tract with minimal absorption into the bloodstream, making it a generally safe option for short-term relief. Its multi-purpose action addresses both acid-related symptoms and gas-related discomfort, making it a comprehensive solution for common digestive issues.
