Eldrate S Oral Liquid

Eldrate S Oral Liquid 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.

Eldrate S Oral Liquid 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.

You are advised to take Eldrate S Oral Liquid for as long as your doctor has suggested it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as constipation, diarrhoea, and intestinal pain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to consult your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
