POLYCROL SYP 200ML

About

POLYCROL SYP 200ML is an antacid syrup formulated to provide rapid and effective relief from symptoms of indigestion, heartburn, and acid reflux. It typically contains a combination of active ingredients such as aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and simethicone. Aluminum and magnesium hydroxides work synergistically to neutralize excess stomach acid, thereby reducing the acidity in the esophagus and stomach. Simethicone acts as an anti-foaming agent, breaking down gas bubbles in the digestive tract to relieve bloating and flatulence.

This triple-action formula offers comprehensive relief by not only neutralizing acid but also by addressing associated discomforts like gas and bloating. It is commonly used for conditions such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, and dyspepsia. The liquid form ensures quick dispersion and a soothing effect on the irritated lining of the esophagus and stomach, providing prompt symptomatic relief and improving overall digestive comfort for patients.
