TRICAINE-MPS GEL 200ML

About

Tricaine-MPS Gel is a robust antacid and anti-flatulent medication, meticulously formulated to provide rapid and effective relief from a spectrum of upper gastrointestinal discomforts. Its active constituents typically include Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium Hydroxide, which work in concert to swiftly neutralize excessive stomach acid, thereby alleviating heartburn, acid indigestion, and symptoms of acid reflux. Complementing this action, Simethicone is incorporated as an anti-foaming agent, specifically targeting and breaking down trapped gas bubbles within the digestive tract, which significantly reduces bloating and flatulence. The gel consistency ensures a soothing, protective coating over the esophageal and gastric mucosa, offering immediate comfort and a barrier against further irritation, making it a comprehensive solution for dyspeptic symptoms.
