Visco Liquid 170 ml

Question 1

How does Visco Liquid 170 ml work?

Accepted Answer

Visco Liquid 170 ml contains Aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, simethicone, and sodium alginate. Aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide work by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). Sodium alginate forms a protective barrier, thereby preventing irritation from acid. Together, Visco Liquid 170 ml provides relief from acidity.

Question 2

Can I take antibiotics along with Visco Liquid 170 ml?

Accepted Answer

Visco Liquid 170 ml can be taken with antibiotic medicines if advised by the doctor. However, maintain a gap of two hours between both as Visco Liquid 170 ml might make it harder for the body to absorb the medicines.

Question 3

Does Visco Liquid 170 ml cause diarrhoea?
