How it works

It combines an antacid effect (Aluminium hydroxide and Magnesium hydroxide) with a topical local anaesthetic (Oxethazaine), which helps relieve the pain associated with hyperacidic conditions. Aluminium and Magnesium hydroxide react with stomach acid to neutralise it. Oxethazaine is a strong local anaesthetic which allows it to be used in very dilute solutions. It acts in a number of ways to numb the walls of the stomach and relieve the pain associated with hyperacidic conditions.
