Medicinal Benefits
Ulgel Sugar Free Saunf Flavour Suspension 450 ml belongs to a group of medicines called antacids, anti ulcerants used to treat acidity, bloating, indigestion, heartburn, and gas. Ulgel Sugar Free Saunf Flavour Suspension 450 ml is a combination of two drugs: Magaldrate (antacid) and Simethicone (anti-flatulent). Magaldrate works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone is a mixture of silica gel and dimethicone. It is also known as activated dimethicone.

It also prevents accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract.

Disease/Condition Glossary
The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity. Due to this, acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing. Indigestion is the feeling of fullness. It occurs due to slow gastric emptying. Symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, heartburn, nausea and vomiting. Bloating occurs when the abdomen is filled with gas or air. Flatulence occurs when gas collects inside the digestive system.
