Drugs use to treat
Indigestion or Dyspepsia
If dyspepsia (indigestion) leading to gas formation in the
gut is present, use of a drug like methylpolysiloxane (dimethicone or
simethicone) is necessary. It is apparent that it is wiser to make use of a
combination of antacids so that the defect can be minimize. For example
magnesium hydroxide and aluminium hydroxide may be collective to balance the
constipating effect of the latter with the laxative effect of the former. On
this basis the following combinations are in regular clinical use.
