Davacid Oral Suspension is a combination of two antacids (Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium) and an antifoaming medicine (Simethicone). The antacids neutralise excess acid in stomach. The antifoaming medicine disintegrates gas bubbles and allows easy passage of gas.
Aluminum hydroxide is a basic inorganic salt that acts by neutralizing hydrochloric acid in gastric secretions. Aluminum hydroxide is slowly solubilized in the stomach and reacts with hydrochloric acid to form aluminum chloride and water. It also inhibits the action of pepsin by increasing the pH and via adsorption.The pharmacokinetic profile of magnesium sulfate after intravenous administration can be described by a two-compartment model with a rapid distribution (α) phase, followed by a relative slow β phase of elimination. The clinical effect and toxicity of magnesium sulfate can be linked to its concentration in plasma.Simethicone decreases the surface tension of gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating their expulsion. 2 It has a short duration of action as it is generally given as needed, and a wide therapeutic index as it is not systemically absorbed.
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

ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+SIMETHICONE belongs to a group of medicines called antacids used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and stomach upset. 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 and heartburn.
ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+SIMETHICONE may have interaction with pain killers (aspirin), antibiotics (ciprofloxacin), anti-asthma (albuterol, ipratropium), anti-diabetic (glipizide), and vitamins (ascorbic acid, ergocalciferol, cholecalciferol).
Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Davacid Oral Suspension is to be taken with food.
