Araxid Gel Oral Suspension Mango Sugar Free belongs to a group of medicines called gastrointestinal agents used to treat acidity, heartburn and gas. The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn. Bloating occurs when the abdomen is filled with gas or air.
Araxid Gel Oral Suspension Mango Sugar Free contains Domperidone (prokinetic), Magaldrate (antacid), and Simethicone (anti-flatulent). Domperidone allows the food to move easily by increasing the movements of the stomach and intestine. Magaldrate works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone works by lowering the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract. Together, Araxid Gel Oral Suspension Mango Sugar Free helps in treating acidity, heartburn and gas.
