About ULGEL CHWEABLE TABLET

ULGEL CHWEABLE TABLET belongs to a group of medicines called antacids & antiulcerants used to treat acidity, bloating, indigestion, heartburn, and gas. The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excessive acid production, the mucous layer becomes eroded, leading to complications such as acidity and heartburn. Bloating occurs when the abdomen is filled with gas or air.

ULGEL CHWEABLE TABLET is a combination of two drugs: Magaldrate (antacid) and Simethicone (anti-flatulent). Magaldrate works 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). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract.
