About Dijex MP Syrup

Dijex MP Syrup uses include relieving symptoms of excess stomach acid and gas. The combination provides relief from heartburn, acid indigestion, sour stomach, bloating, and gas discomfort. Aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide work by neutralizing hydrochloric acid in the stomach, while simethicone acts as a surfactant that changes the surface tension of gas bubbles, causing them to collapse and pass more easily.
