How it works
Savocid OM Oral Suspension is a combination of three medicines: Magaldrate, Simethicone and Oxetacaine, which relieves acidity, heartburn and stomach ulcers. Magaldrate is an inorganic salt that neutralises 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.

Talk to your doctor if you notice any signs of appendicitis such as lower abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, nausea and vomiting. It may take 4-6 weeks or more for the ulcers to heal completely.
