Powerful Relief for Stomach Ulcer Pain and Heartburn
Nugel-O Antacid (Mint Flavour) is a high-performance oral suspension formulated to provide rapid relief from severe gastrointestinal discomfort. Specifically designed for individuals suffering from peptic ulcers and gastritis, the "O" in Nugel-O stands for Oxetacaine—a potent local anaesthetic that provides topical relief by numbing the sensitive stomach lining.
How Nugel-O Works
This multi-action formula combines six active ingredients to target digestive issues:
- Anaesthetic Relief (Oxetacaine): Quickly numbs the stomach lining to stop the sharp, burning pain of ulcers.
- Triple Antacid Action: Aluminium Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide, and Magnesium Trisilicate work together to neutralize excess stomach acid.
- Anti-Reflux Barrier: Alginic Acid forms a protective "raft" over the stomach contents, preventing acid from rising into the throat (heartburn).
- Gas Relief: Simethicone (Dimethicone) breaks down gas bubbles to ease bloating and flatulence.
Why Choose Nugel-O?
Unlike standard antacids that only neutralize acid, Nugel-O provides a dual approach by both neutralizing acid and physically numbing the source of pain. This makes it an ideal choice for those experiencing "pepperish" sensations or sharp abdominal discomfort in Nigeria. The mint flavour provides an additional cooling sensation for "hot" stomach feelings.
