About Gastracid Natural Orange Flavour Sugar Free Liquid

Gastracid Natural Orange Flavour Sugar Free Liquid belongs to a group of medicines called 'antacids' used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and stomach upset. The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, the mucous layer gets eroded due to excess acid production, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn.

Gastracid Natural Orange Flavour Sugar Free Liquid is a combination of four drugs: Calcium Carbonate, Simethicone, Magnesium Trisilicate and Magnesium Hydroxide. Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Trisilicate and Magnesium Hydroxide work by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone decreases the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). Together, Gastracid Natural Orange Flavour Sugar Free Liquid relieves acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (stomach inflammation), and stomach upset.
