Avlocid MS Suspension is a combination antacid containing Magaldrate 480 mg and Simethicone 20 mg per 5 ml. It is formulated to provide rapid relief from acidity, heartburn, and bloating. While Magaldrate neutralizes excess stomach acid, Simethicone reduces gas and bloating by helping coalesce gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating their elimination. This dual-action formulation provides comprehensive relief from acid-related discomfort and digestive gas problems.
