Indications:
Entacyd® Plus is indicated for the symptomatic relief of hyperacidity, heartburn, sour stomach, indigestion, gastric bloating, and flatulence. It is also used for the management of peptic ulcers and gastritis as an adjunct therapy.
Pharmacology:
Entacyd Plus contains:
Aluminum Hydroxide (400 mg): A slow-acting antacid that neutralizes stomach acid and provides a protective coating in the gastrointestinal tract.
Magnesium Hydroxide (400 mg): A fast-acting antacid with laxative properties that balances the constipating effect of aluminum salts.
Simethicone (30 mg): An anti-foaming agent that reduces bloating and discomfort caused by gas.
These agents work synergistically to provide rapid and long-lasting relief from gastric acidity and gas-related discomfort.
