Digestive discomfort such as acidity, indigestion, heartburn, and gas is one of the most commonly reported health concerns globally, affecting people of all age groups and lifestyles. To provide rapid and sustained relief from such symptoms, combination formulations of Magnesium Hydroxide, Aluminium Hydroxide, and Simethicone are widely used. This time-tested triple-action formula provides a synergistic antacid and anti-flatulent effect, making it an essential component of over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription gastrointestinal therapy.
BluepillExpress, a WHO-GMP certified pharmaceutical manufacturer, is a trusted provider of third-party manufacturing solutions for this widely prescribed gastrointestinal formulation. Our advanced manufacturing capabilities, commitment to regulatory compliance, and ability to meet custom branding requirements make us a preferred manufacturing partner for pharmaceutical companies, OTC product marketers, hospital procurement units, and global export clients.
What is Magnesium Hydroxide, Aluminium Hydroxide & Simethicone?
This combination of antacids and anti-flatulent agents is used for the symptomatic treatment of acid indigestion, gastric discomfort, flatulence, and hyperacidity.
- Magnesium Hydroxide: A fast-acting antacid that neutralizes stomach acid and exerts a mild laxative effect, helping relieve constipation that may occur due to other antacids.
- Aluminium Hydroxide: A slower-acting antacid that neutralizes gastric acid and also binds phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract. It offers prolonged acid-neutralizing action and has a constipating effect, which is balanced by magnesium.
- Simethicone: A defoaming agent that reduces bloating and discomfort caused by gas. It works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles, allowing them to coalesce and be expelled more easily.
Together, these three ingredients create a well-balanced formulation that addresses multiple gastrointestinal symptoms with minimal side effects.
Therapeutic Class
- Antacid (Magnesium Hydroxide + Aluminium Hydroxide)
- Anti-Flatulent (Simethicone)
- Gastrointestinal Support
Key Benefits
1. Rapid Neutralization of Stomach Acid
Magnesium Hydroxide offers quick symptomatic relief by neutralizing excess hydrochloric acid in the stomach within minutes.
2. Sustained Relief from Heartburn and Indigestion
Aluminium Hydroxide acts more slowly and provides long-lasting relief, especially helpful in chronic gastritis and hyperacidity.
3. Relieves Gas and Bloating
Simethicone reduces surface tension of gas bubbles trapped in the stomach and intestines, making it easier for the body to expel them naturally.
4. Balanced Laxative and Constipating Effects
The opposing effects of magnesium and aluminium compounds create a neutral balance, avoiding unwanted constipation or diarrhea.
5. Well-Tolerated and Safe for Long-Term Use
Suitable for OTC and prescription use, this combination has a low side effect profile and is safe for most adults and elderly patients.
