Avrocid Tablets
Overview
Avrocid Tablets are chewable antacid and antiflatulent tablets designed to relieve symptoms associated with excessive stomach acid, such as heartburn, indigestion, and bloating. The triple-action formula contains aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and simethicone to neutralize stomach acid, reduce gas, and protect the stomach lining.
Ingredients
Each chewable tablet contains:
- Aluminium Hydroxide (300 mg): Neutralizes stomach acid and protects the gastric lining.
- Magnesium Hydroxide (25 mg): Provides additional acid-neutralizing properties and a mild laxative effect.
- Simethicone (10 mg): Reduces gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract to relieve bloating.
Key Benefits
- Relieves Acid Reflux: Quickly neutralizes stomach acid, providing relief from heartburn and indigestion.
- Reduces Gas and Bloating: Simethicone breaks down gas bubbles for easy elimination.
- Protects the Stomach Lining: Aluminium hydroxide shields the gastric mucosa from irritation.
Usage Instructions
- Dosage: Take one to two tablets after meals and at bedtime or as directed by a healthcare provider.
- Method: Chew thoroughly before swallowing.
Precautions
- Avoid prolonged use without medical advice, especially if symptoms persist.
- Not suitable for individuals with severe kidney issues, as magnesium levels may rise.
