Let your healthcare team know about all other medications you are taking as some may affect, or be affected by this medicine.
Cid Syrup is a combination of Magaldrate and Simethicone. Magaldrate neutralises the excess acid in the stomach. Simethicone helps to break up the gas bubbles in the stomach so that they can be burped or passed down from the body
Pharmacology. Magaldrate is a hydroxymagnesium aluminate complex that is converted rapidly by gastric acid into Mg(OH)2 and Al(OH)3, which are absorbed poorly and thus provide a sustained antacid effect
Simethicone and cellulose are both excreted unchanged in the feces. Simethicone is not known to interfere with gastric secretion or nutrient absorption; however, this medicine is usually taken after at least 4 hours of fasting. SonoRx may color the stool orange until elimination is complete, typically 24 to 48 hours
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
