Antasim Mint Suspension belongs to a group of medicines called antacids used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (stomach inflammation), and stomach upset. Antasim Mint Suspension is a combination of four drugs: Dried aluminium hydroxide (antacid), magnesium hydroxide (antacids), and simethicone (anti-flatulent). Dried aluminum hydroxide, and magnesium hydroxide work by neutralizing excess stomach acid. Simethicone decreases the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). Thus, Antasim Mint Suspension helps provide relief from acidity-related issues.
