Gelusil MPS Syrup (Original Sugar‑Free Mint flavor), a widely used antacid–antigas formulation manufactured by Pfizer in India:

What Is It & What’s Inside

This is an oral liquid combining three active agents:

Aluminium Hydroxide (250 mg/5 ml) – Neutralizes stomach acid

Magnesium Hydroxide (250 mg/5 ml) – Neutralizes acid and acts as a mild laxative

Activated Dimethicone (50 mg/5 ml) – Breaks down gas bubbles to relieve bloating

It's sugar‑free, mint‑flavored, and helps soothe acidity, heartburn, indigestion, and gas‑related discomfort

How It Works

Neutralizes excess gastric acid for quick relief

Dims discomfort from trapped gas by altering bubble surface tension

Balances pH, with mild laxative effects helping with any antacid-induced constipation
