Description:
Sparacid DS Syrup is an antacid and antiflatulent combination medication used to relieve symptoms of acid indigestion, heartburn, gas, and bloating. It combines two active ingredients: magaldrate and simethicone.
Magaldrate is an inorganic salt of aluminum and magnesium hydroxide. It acts as an antacid by chemically neutralizing excess stomach acid. When it comes into contact with stomach acid (hydrochloric acid), it reacts to form magnesium chloride and aluminum hydroxide, both of which have a less acidic pH.
This neutralization of acid helps to raise the pH of the stomach contents, providing relief from symptoms such as heartburn and indigestion caused by excessive acid. Magaldrate is considered a non-systemic antacid, meaning it is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream, thus limiting systemic side effects.
