Fast Relief for Heartburn, Acid Indigestion and Ulcer Pain
Polygel Antacid 200ml is a powerful, triple-action oral suspension (often called Polygel syrup) formulated to provide rapid relief from gastrointestinal discomfort. It is specifically designed to target heartburn, acid reflux (GERD), and painful bloating caused by excess gas.
Manufactured by Shalina Healthcare, this suspension is one of the most trusted antacids in Nigeria for managing symptoms of hyperacidity, gastritis, and dyspepsia.
How Polygel Antacid Works
Polygel combines three proven active ingredients to provide comprehensive relief:
- Aluminium Hydroxide (250mg): Effectively neutralizes excess stomach acid.
- Magnesium Hydroxide (250mg): Works alongside Aluminium to balance acid levels while minimizing digestive side effects.
- Simethicone (50mg): An anti-foaming agent that breaks down gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines, providing quick relief from bloating and flatulence.
Key Benefits and Indications
Polygel is used for the symptomatic relief of:
- Heartburn and Acid Reflux: Eases the burning sensation in the chest and throat.
- Peptic Ulcer Pain: Provides a soothing coating and neutralizes acid that irritates ulcers.
- Gastritis and Dyspepsia: Calms stomach inflammation and indigestion.
- Bloating and Gas: Helps expel trapped gas for comfort.
Dosage and How to Use
For adults and children over 12 years: Take 10ml to 20ml (2 to 4 teaspoonfuls) between meals and at bedtime, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Pro-tip: Shake the bottle well before use. If you are looking for fast relief, Polygel is known to start working within minutes of ingestion.
If symptoms persist for more than two weeks, or if you have questions about using Polygel with other medications, please consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor.
