Indications
Marlox Plus is designed to alleviate symptoms of dyspepsia, heartburn, acid indigestion, sour stomach, gastroesophageal reflux, and hiatal hernia.

This product aids in relieving flatulence, abdominal distension, and windy colic.
Consult a registered healthcare professional before use.
Pharmacology
Marlox Plus combines magaldrate and simethicone. Magaldrate, a magnesium-aluminum compound, neutralizes gastric acid rapidly while maintaining a pH of 5-6, and reduces pepsin activity in gastric secretions. Simethicone works by allowing gas bubbles to merge, providing relief from flatulence.

- Suspension: Take 2-4 teaspoonfuls (10-20 ml) of suspension 20 to 60 minutes after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by your physician.
