Trisil Plus 120ml Suspension

Aluminum Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide, and Simethicone work together to provide relief from various gastrointestinal symptoms. Aluminum and Magnesium Hydroxides are antacids that neutralize excess stomach acid by reacting with hydrochloric acid, raising the gastric pH. This helps to alleviate acid-related discomfort and protect the stomach lining. Simethicone, an anti-foaming agent, reduces gas accumulation in the stomach and intestines by breaking up gas bubbles, allowing for easier expulsion. This combination helps to relieve symptoms such as heartburn, indigestion, and excessive gas, providing a soothing effect on the gastrointestinal tract.
