Medicine Description miopan 540 mg/5 ml
Miopan 100 ml syrup is a medication that utilizes magaldrate as its active ingredient, which functions as an antacid. It works by neutralizing excess gastric acid in the stomach, thereby alleviating symptoms associated with acid-related disorders. When magaldrate comes into contact with hydrochloric acid in the stomach, it forms a gel-like substance that protects the gastric lining and reduces irritation. This action helps to relieve discomfort from heartburn and indigestion by decreasing acidity and promoting a more balanced pH environment in the gastrointestinal tract.
