SOFZID NS SYP.180ML

About

SOFZID NS SYP.180ML is an antacid or acid-reducing syrup designed to provide rapid and effective relief from symptoms associated with excess stomach acid. It typically contains active ingredients such as aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, or simethicone, which work by neutralizing stomach acid or reducing gas. Aluminum and magnesium hydroxides act as antacids, directly counteracting the acidity in the stomach, thereby alleviating heartburn, indigestion, and sour stomach. Simethicone, if present, helps to break down gas bubbles, reducing bloating and discomfort. The 'NS' in the name might indicate 'Non-Sugar' or 'Non-Sedating', highlighting specific formulation benefits.

This syrup is clinically indicated for the symptomatic management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), dyspepsia, and other conditions characterized by hyperacidity. Its liquid form allows for quick onset of action, providing prompt relief from burning sensations and discomfort in the upper abdomen. By restoring a more balanced pH in the stomach, SOFZID NS SYP helps to protect the esophageal lining from acid damage and improves overall digestive comfort. It is a common over-the-counter remedy for occasional acid-related symptoms, offering a convenient and effective solution for digestive distress.
