Sachets for the symptomatic relief of gastric discomfort related to hyperacidity, heartburn and burning.
Contains 30 sachets.
It is a medicine belonging to the group of so-called antacids thanks to its formula containing magaldrate, an active substance which, once in the stomach, is transformed into aluminium and magnesium salts to regulate stomach acidity.
It is therefore used for the symptomatic relief of occasional gastric discomfort related to hyperacidity, heartburn and burning.
It comes in a convenient pack containing 30 sachets.
Suitable for adults over 18 years of age.
Shake the sachet, tear it and put the contents directly into the mouth.
The recommended dose is 1 sachet of 800 mg orally. Depending on the intensity of the symptoms, 1 to 2 hours after main meals.
In certain cases, an additional sachet may be taken before going to bed.
