Dried Aluminium Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide, and Simethicone Suspension

Dried Aluminium Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide, and Simethicone Suspension is a drug composition under the branding of ULCIDAZ SUSP. It comprises aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and simethicone suspension. It is utilized to balance out the action of excessive stomach acid. Our stomach consists of different cells, parietal cells which are present in our stomach and secretes the hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid is used for the breakdown or digestion of the food we eat. 

Sometimes our body secretes too much acid in our stomach and it can cause different problems related to our digestive system. Heartburn, stomach upset, indigestion, damage to the lining of the digestive system and bloating are all different problems that are caused by the excessive secretion of hydrochloric acid in our stomach. This medication can be helpful in relieving the stomach from these various digestive problems.

The working of this medication can be broken down into two parts where the simethicone breaks down the gas bubbles in the stomach. Secondly, Aluminium and magnesium act as antacids which basically neutralize the activity of the acid in the stomach. Both aluminium and magnesium restore the optimum pH of the body. But this medication is only viable for the acid present in the stomach, and can not be used to stop the secretion of the acid in the future.
