ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETACAINE+SIMETHICONE belongs to a group of medicines called antacids used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and stomach upset. The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn.
ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETACAINE+SIMETHICONE is a combination of four drugs: Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium hydroxide, Oxetacaine and Simethicone. Aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide belong to a group of antacids, whereas oxetacaine belongs to local anaesthetics. Aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Oxetacaine exerts a numbing effect, thereby provides relief from pain due to ulcers or acidic injury in the stomach. Simethicone is anti-flatulent which works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitates the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping).
Take ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETACAINE+SIMETHICONE as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETACAINE+SIMETHICONE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. You may experience certain common side-effects such as constipation, diarrhoea, dizziness, and drowsiness in some cases. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
Do not take ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETACAINE+SIMETHICONE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed by the doctor. ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETACAINE+SIMETHICONE should not be given to children as safety have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETACAINE+SIMETHICONE as it could lead to increased acidity. ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+OXETACAINE+SIMETHICONE may cause dizziness and drowsiness, do not drive or operate machinery unless you are alert. Inform your doctor regarding other prescription, non-prescription and herbal medicines you are taking to prevent any side-effects/interactions.

The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity. Due to this, acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing. Indigestion is the feeling of fullness. It occurs due to slow gastric emptying. Symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, heartburn, nausea and vomiting.
