SMUTH CAP 10 S

About

SMUTH CAP is a medication designed to provide effective relief from common gastrointestinal discomforts such as heartburn, indigestion, bloating, and gas. While the exact composition can vary, such products typically combine an antacid with an anti-flatulent agent, like simethicone. The antacid component works by directly neutralizing excess stomach acid, which is the primary cause of heartburn and acid reflux. This rapid neutralization provides quick symptomatic relief. Concurrently, the anti-flatulent agent, such as simethicone, acts by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract. This causes the smaller gas bubbles to coalesce into larger ones, which are then more easily passed or absorbed, thereby alleviating bloating, pressure, and discomfort caused by trapped gas. This dual action ensures comprehensive relief by addressing both acid-related symptoms and gas-related issues, promoting overall digestive comfort and well-being.
