Product introduction
Digene Antacid Antigas Tablet in mint flavour is a chewable over-the-counter tablet for common acidity and gas. It combines antacids that neutralise excess stomach acid with simethicone, which helps clear trapped gas, so it tackles both the burning of acidity and the bloating and belching that often go with it. Being chewable and pocket-friendly, it is convenient for relief on the go.
