ULTRACID SYP 200ML

About

Ultracid Syrup is an effective antacid formulation specifically designed to provide rapid and reliable relief from symptoms of hyperacidity. It typically comprises a balanced combination of aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, two well-established acid-neutralizing agents. Aluminum hydroxide works by reacting with gastric acid to form aluminum chloride and water, while magnesium hydroxide reacts to form magnesium chloride and water. These reactions effectively raise the pH of the stomach contents, thereby alleviating heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach. The combination of these two antacids is often preferred as aluminum tends to cause constipation, and magnesium has a mild laxative effect, which can help to counteract each other's gastrointestinal side effects. This medication offers symptomatic relief for various acid-related gastrointestinal conditions.
