CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE 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 acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, the mucous layer gets eroded due to excess acid production, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn.
CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE is a combination of four drugs: Calcium Carbonate, Simethicone, Magnesium Trisilicate and Magnesium Hydroxide. Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Trisilicate and Magnesium Hydroxide work by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone decreases the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). Together, CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE relieves acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (stomach inflammation), and stomach upset.
Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE for as long as recommended. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as constipation, loss of appetite, weakness and diarrhoea. 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.
Inform your doctor before taking CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE if you have low phosphate levels, high magnesium levels, or kidney or liver problems. Consult your doctor before taking CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE should be given to children only if advised by the doctor. Avoid consuming alcohol, as it could lead to increased acidity.

Together, CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE provides relief from acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and stomach upset.
Do not take CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE if you are allergic to any of its contents, debilitated (very weak), if you have severe stomach pain, partially or fully blocked bowel. Inform your doctor before taking CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE if you have malabsorption, low phosphate levels, high magnesium levels, kidney or liver problems; if you are on a low-phosphate diet. Consult your doctor before taking CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE should be given to children only if advised by the doctor. Avoid consuming alcohol as it could lead to increased acidity.
Drug-Drug Interactions: CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE may have an interaction with HIV medications (e.g. cabotegravir, dolutegravir, raltegravir), medications used to treat certain cancer (e.g. erdafitinib, infigratinib, selpercatinib, sotorasib), medicines used to treat hyperkalemia (e.g. patiromer, sodium polystyrene sulfonate).
Drug-Food Interactions: Avoid consumption of alcohol. Alcohol intake leads to increased production of stomach acid, thereby increasing acidity and heartburn.
Drug-Disease Interactions: CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE is to be used with medical advice if you have constipation, phosphate calcifications, cardiac contraction/conduction, malabsorption, renal dysfunction, sarcoidosis, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal obstruction disorders, and renal dysfunction.
Avoid consumption of alcohol. Alcohol intake leads to increased production of stomach acid, thereby increasing acidity and heartburn.
Please consult your doctor before taking the CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE if you are pregnant. Your doctor will advise only if the benefits outweigh the risks.
Consult your doctor before taking CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE; your doctor will decide whether CALCIUM CARBONATE+SIMETHICONE+MAGNESIUM TRISILICATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE can be taken by breastfeeding mothers or not.

The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, the mucous layer gets eroded due to excess acid production, leading to acidity complications. 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.
