Medicine Description glycodal-m 480mg
Glycodal-M 100 ml syrup is a medication that combines magaldrate and simethicone to provide symptomatic relief from various gastrointestinal discomforts. Magaldrate acts as an antacid, neutralizing gastric acid and raising the pH level in the stomach, which helps to alleviate conditions associated with excessive acidity. This action reduces the irritating effects of stomach acid on the gastric lining, thus providing relief from heartburn and acid indigestion. Simethicone, on the other hand, is an antiflatulent that reduces surface tension of gas bubbles, allowing for easier passage of gas through the digestive tract. Together, these ingredients work to reduce discomfort from bloating, gas, and acidity-related issues, promoting a more comfortable digestive experience.
