Gelusil MPS Xtra Cool Syrup 200 ml belongs to a group of medicines called antacids used to treat acidity, heartburn, indigestion, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and stomach upset. The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn.
Gelusil MPS Xtra Cool Syrup 200 ml contains Aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and dimethicone. Aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide work by neutralising excess stomach acid. Dimethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract.
In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as constipation, loss of appetite, weakness and diarrhoea. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
Inform your doctor before taking Gelusil MPS Xtra Cool Syrup 200 ml if you have low phosphate levels, high magnesium levels, kidney or liver problems. Consult your doctor before taking Gelusil MPS Xtra Cool Syrup 200 ml if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Gelusil MPS Xtra Cool Syrup 200 ml should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Gelusil MPS Xtra Cool Syrup 200 ml as it could lead to increased acidity.
