MAGALDRATE+ACTIVATED POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE
About MAGALDRATE+ACTIVATED POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE
MAGALDRATE+ACTIVATED POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE belongs to a group of medicines called antacids and antiflatulents used to treat acidity, dyspepsia (indigestion), flatulence (gas), heartburn and stomach upset. The stomach is usually protected from the 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.
MAGALDRATE+ACTIVATED POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE contains Magaldrate (antacid) and Activated Polydimethylsiloxane (antiflatulent). Magaldrate works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Activated Polydimethylsiloxane lowers the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract.
Use MAGALDRATE+ACTIVATED POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. MAGALDRATE+ACTIVATED POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE is generally safe to use. However, some may experience side effects like constipation, altered taste, bloating/gas, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting. Although not everyone experiences these side effects, please seek medical attention if they occur.
Let your doctor know if you have a history of inflammation/swelling of the pancreas (acute pancreatitis), intestinal bleeding, stomach ulcers, colostomy (opening in the large intestine) or ileostomy before starting MAGALDRATE+ACTIVATED POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use MAGALDRATE+ACTIVATED POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE with proper consultation and caution. Safety and efficacy of MAGALDRATE+ACTIVATED POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE are not established in paediatric patients, therefore, please consult a doctor if you have any concerns.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Dyspepsia (Indigestion): Indigestion is the inability to digest food and is associated with pain and discomfort in the stomach. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, burning sensation in the stomach, gas, and belching.
Flatulence: It is the build-up of gas in the digestive system that can lead to abdominal discomfort.
Acidity: The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, the mucous layer gets eroded due to excess acid production, which leads to complications like acidity. Due to this, acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth and difficulty swallowing.
