Medicine Description maalox-plus 355 ml
maalox plus 355 ml syrup is a medication that combines aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and simethicone to provide relief from gastrointestinal discomfort. The aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide act as antacids, neutralizing gastric acid, thereby elevating the pH in the stomach. This neutralization reduces acidity, alleviating symptoms such as heartburn and indigestion. Additionally, simethicone is included to reduce bloating and discomfort caused by gas. It works by lowering the surface tension of gas bubbles, allowing them to combine and be expelled more easily. Together, these components make Maalox Plus effective for providing symptomatic relief from excess stomach acid and gas-related issues.
