About Speucid Forte Tablet

Speucid Forte Tablet belongs to a class of drugs called gastrointestinal agents used to treat stomach pain and heartburn due to acidity. Also, Speucid Forte Tablet relieves spasms, discomfort, cramps, and bloating. Stomach pain is the pain that occurs between the pelvic regions and the chest. It may be caused due to acid reflux, constipation, diarrhoea, infection or intestinal disorders.

Speucid Forte Tablet is a combination of four drugs, namely: Dicyclomine (antispasmodic), Magaldrate (antacid), Oxethazaine (local anaesthetic) and simethicone (anti-foaming agent). Dicyclomine works by relaxing the muscles in the walls of the intestine and provides relief from painful muscle spasms. Thus, it reduces stomach pain caused by spasms, cramps, gas formation, bloating, and discomfort. Magaldrate works by neutralizing excess acid in the stomach. Oxethazaine is a local anaesthetic that exerts a numbing effect and relieves pain due to acidic injury or ulcers in the stomach. Simethicone is an antifoaming agent that works by combining smaller gas bubbles that may get trapped among stomach contents into larger bubbles that are easily expelled by passing wind or burping.  Thereby, it helps in releasing gas.

Take Speucid Forte Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Speucid Forte Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition.
