About Dicyclomine Hydrochloride+dried Aluminium Hydroxide+light Magnesium Oxide+simethicone
Dicyclomine Hydrochloride+dried Aluminium Hydroxide+light Magnesium Oxide+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.
Dicyclomine Hydrochloride+dried Aluminium Hydroxide+light Magnesium Oxide+simethicone contains Dicyclomine, Dried aluminium hydroxide, Light magnesium oxide, and Simethicone. Dicyclomine hydrochloride relieves gastrointestinal muscle spasms. Dried aluminum hydroxide and light magnesium oxide work by neutralizing excess stomach acid. Simethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Acidity: The stomach is usually protected from 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: It is the feeling of fullness. Indigestion occurs due to slow gastric emptying. Symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, heartburn, nausea and vomiting.
