What is Antacid Oral Suspension?

Therapeutic Class:

Alimentary Tract and Metabolism

Active Ingredients: Aluminum Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide, Simethicone

Antacid Oral Suspension is used to relieve the symptoms caused by too much stomach acid, like upset stomach or acid indigestion. It’s also used to relieve symptoms of extra gas or discomfort in the gut. Antacids in liquid forms, such as syrups, work faster and more efficiently than tablets or capsules.

The oral suspension formulas are a combination of carefully selected ingredients to help relieve these symptoms. It should be noted this medication does not prevent the production of excess acid in the stomach.

Antacid Oral Suspension Standard Formula contains the following active ingredients:

Magnesium Trisilicate: An inorganic compound with slow gastric neutralizing action. It’s often used to relieve symptoms of indigestion, heartburn, or GERD. It displays mild laxative action.
Magnesium Carbonate Light: This mineral helps neutralize the excess stomach acid by forming soluble magnesium chloride and carbon dioxide.
Sodium Bicarbonate: A common antacid used to reduce gastric acidity by producing carbon dioxide. It also raises the body’s pH level.

Antacid Oral Suspension Anti-Gas Formula contains the following active ingredients:

Aluminum Hydroxide: A mineral that reduces stomach acid by reacting with hydrochloric acid.
Magnesium Hydroxide: A mineral that neutralizes stomach acid by producing magnesium chloride within the stomach. It also increases water in the intestines, which may relieve constipation.
Simethicone: Commonly used to relieve the pressure caused by gas within the digestive system. It works by altering the surface tension of gas bubbles.
