Product introduction
Digene Antacid Antigas Gel in a refreshing mint flavour is an over-the-counter liquid remedy for everyday acidity and gas. It brings together antacids that settle excess stomach acid with an anti-foaming agent that helps break up trapped gas, easing the burning, bloating and heaviness that often follow a rich or spicy meal. Being a ready-to-take gel, it acts quickly and is convenient for occasional relief at home.
Storage: Keep at a temperature below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store out of the reach of children.

Benefits of Digene Antacid Antigas Gel (Mint)
This mint gel offers fast comfort when acidity and heartburn flare up. Its antacid ingredients neutralise surplus stomach acid, while simethicone works on trapped gas so that bloating, belching and that uncomfortable full feeling ease off. Taken after meals or at bedtime, it can calm the burning sensation and stomach heaviness that come with overeating or indigestion. It is a handy option for short-term, occasional acidity rather than a long-term treatment.

How Digene Antacid Antigas Gel (Mint) works
The gel works mainly by neutralising the excess acid already present in the stomach, which quickly relieves the burning of acidity and heartburn. It has a high acid-neutralising capacity, and the simethicone in it helps merge small gas bubbles so trapped wind can pass more easily, reducing bloating.
