Sparacid
Sparacid is a combination medicine containing Magaldrate and Simethicone. Magaldrate acts as an antacid by neutralizing excess stomach acid, providing rapid relief from heartburn and indigestion. Simethicone is an antiflatulent that helps break down gas bubbles in the gut, making it easier to eliminate and reducing bloating.
Dosage by Body Weight
