How it works
Acicol O Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Magaldrate, Simethicone, and Oxetacaine, which relieves acidity, heartburn, and stomach ulcers. Magaldrate is an inorganic salt that neutralizes the excess acid in stomach. Simethicone is an antifoaming medicine which disintegrates gas bubbles and allows easy passage of gas. Oxetacaine is a local anesthetic which provides faster relief from pain due to ulcers or acidic injury in the stomach.
