Working Mechanism of Magaldrate, Simethicone, and Oxetacaine Suspension
The triple-action formula provides effective relief for digestive issues by neutralizing acid, relieving gas, and numbing pain. Magaldrate is an antacid that reacts with excess stomach acid and raises pH to protect the stomach lining. Simethicone is an antifoaming agent that reduces the surface tension of gas bubbles and allows them to merge or pass gas. Oxetacaine is a local anesthetic that numbs the irritated lining of the stomach and esophagus and hence, provides rapid pain relief from acid-related conditions or ulcers.
