Description
What It Is
Ulgicid Suspension is a fast-acting antacid liquid combining acid-neutralizing agents with alginic acid to both alleviate and shield against gastroesophageal reflux symptoms.
Composition & Mechanism
-
Activated Dimethicone, Aluminium Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide, and Magnesium Trisilicate — these components neutralize excess gastric acid and soothe the stomach.
-
Alginic Acid — creates a protective gel “raft” that floats atop stomach contents, reducing acid backflow (reflux).
Indications & Benefits
Ideal for relief from:
-
Heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion, sour or upset stomach, gastric reflux, and reflux-associated discomfort—even during pregnancy.
The pineapple, mint, and cherry flavors enhance palatability, particularly for children and picky users.
