Ulgicid Cherry Flavour Suspension (200 ml) is an antacid used to relieve symptoms related to gastric acidity, heartburn, indigestion, and ulcers. It usually contains a combination of ingredients such as aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and sometimes simethicone. These components work together to neutralize stomach acid, reduce gas, and protect the stomach lining.

Uses:

• Relief from heartburn and acid reflux
• Indigestion and upset stomach
• Treatment and management of gastric and duodenal ulcers
• Reducing gas and bloating 

Dosage (General Guidelines):

• Adults:
  • 10–20 ml (2–4 teaspoons) taken after meals and at bedtime or as directed by a doctor.

  • The dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider.

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure the ingredients are properly mixed.
