Medicine Description semto 850mg
Semto 850mg Tablets is a medication that combines calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide, primarily functioning as an antacid. Calcium carbonate neutralizes stomach acid by reacting with hydrochloric acid to form calcium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide, thereby alleviating symptoms of heartburn and acid indigestion. Magnesium hydroxide also acts as an antacid and has a laxative effect, helping to relieve constipation. Together, these components help maintain a balanced pH in the gastrointestinal tract, reducing irritation and discomfort associated with excessive acidity. This mechanism is essential for individuals experiencing gastrointestinal discomfort rather than cognitive enhancement.
