Digene On The Go Pack Orange Flavour Antacid Antigas Gel, 5x10 ml belongs to a group of medicines called antacids used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), stomach upset, and bloating. The abdomen is usually protected from 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.
Digene On The Go Pack Orange Flavour Antacid Antigas Gel, 5x10 ml is a combination of four drugs: Dried aluminium hydroxide gel, magnesium hydroxide, simethicone, and sodium carboxymethylcellulose. Dried aluminium hydroxide gel 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 carboxymethylcellulose forms a protective barrier, thereby preventing irritation due to acid. Together, Digene On The Go Pack Orange Flavour Antacid Antigas Gel, 5x10 ml provides relief from acidity.
