Dried Aluminium Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide, and Simethicone Tablets are a combination medicine used to relieve acid-related stomach and digestive problems.

Here are the key details:

• Composition: Each tablet contains:

  • Aluminium Hydroxide – an antacid that neutralizes stomach acid.

  • Magnesium Hydroxide – another antacid that works in combination with aluminium hydroxide to balance acid-neutralizing effects and reduce constipation or diarrhea.

  • Simethicone – an anti-foaming agent that helps reduce bloating and gas.

• Dosage Form: Oral tablets, typically chewable or swallowed with water.

• Mode of Action:

  • Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium Hydroxide neutralize excess stomach acid, relieving heartburn and indigestion.

  • Simethicone reduces surface tension of gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines, helping eliminate trapped gas and reduce bloating.

• Uses:

  • Relief of heartburn, acid reflux, and sour stomach.

  • Management of indigestion or upset stomach due to excess acid.

  • Relief of bloating, flatulence, and discomfort from gas.

• Treatment Goal: To neutralize stomach acid, reduce discomfort, and relieve bloating or gas.

• Side Effects:

  • Common: mild constipation (from aluminium), mild diarrhea (from magnesium), or minor stomach upset.

  • Rare: allergic reactions, severe constipation, or electrolyte imbalance with long-term use.

• Precautions:

  • Avoid prolonged or excessive use without medical supervision.

  • Caution in patients with kidney problems, as aluminium and magnesium can accumulate.

  • Should be taken separately from other medications by 1–2 hours, as antacids can interfere with absorption.

  • Not recommended in severe kidney disease or in patients on certain restricted diets.

👉 This combination is effective for short-term relief of heartburn, acid-related discomfort, and gas, but persistent symptoms should be evaluated by a doctor.
