RANTAC MPS 170ML

Rantac MPS LA Suspension 170 ml belongs to a group of antacids, antiulcerants used to treat acidity, heartburn, gas, and stomach ulcers. 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. Bloating occurs when the abdomen is filled with gas or air.

Rantac MPS LA Suspension 170 ml is a combination of three drugs: Magaldrate (antacid), Simethicone (anti-flatulent), and Oxetacaine (local anaesthetic). Magaldrate works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone works by decreasing gas bubbles’ surface tension, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract. Oxetacaine exerts a numbing effect, thereby provides relief from pain due to ulcers or acidic injury in the stomach.
