Magalcid 120ml Syrup

Magalcid 120ml Syrup is a syrup made by Wilson`s Pharma Al Qamar that contains Antacid, an antacid for quick relief of acidity. It is used for heartburn, acid reflux, acidity, indigestion and wind.

Uses of Magalcid 120ml Syrup

Magalcid 120ml Syrup products are used for quick relief of heartburn, acid indigestion, sour stomach and the discomfort of trapped wind. Most combine aluminium hydroxide with magnesium hydroxide, and many also contain simethicone for bloating. They ease the symptoms of excess acid but do not heal ulcers, so symptoms that keep returning need a doctor’s review.

How Magalcid 120ml Syrup works

Aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide are alkaline compounds that react with stomach acid and neutralise it, easing burning within minutes. They are paired because aluminium tends to constipate while magnesium tends to loosen stools, so their bowel effects balance out. Simethicone, where included, helps small gas bubbles merge so wind passes more easily.

Possible side effects

Antacids are simple medicines and Magalcid 120ml Syrup rarely causes trouble. Occasionally people notice:

• Constipation
• Diarrhoea or loose stools
• Chalky taste in the mouth
• Mild stomach cramps

See a doctor promptly if you have black or bloody stools, vomit blood, have difficulty swallowing, lose weight without trying, or if symptoms last more than two weeks.

Precautions and warnings

• Leave a gap of about two hours between antacids and other medicines, such as some antibiotics, iron and thyroid tablets, as antacids can reduce their absorption.
• Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have kidney disease, as aluminium and magnesium can build up in the body.
• Do not use antacids regularly for long periods without medical advice.
• Antacids are commonly used for occasional heartburn in pregnancy, but check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
• Some liquid antacids contain sugar or sodium, which matters if you have diabetes or follow a low-salt diet.

Storage

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and do not use it after the expiry date or the period stated on the label once opened. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
