Magaldrate neutralizes excess stomach acid while simethicone promotes the easy passage of gas through the digestive tract.

Ingredients

Each 200 ml bottle of Novelta contains:

• Magaldrate: 480 mg (an antacid component)
• Simethicone: 20 mg (an anti-gas component)

Uses and Doses

Novelta is primarily used for treating conditions like dyspepsia, acid indigestion, heartburn, hyperacidity associated with peptic ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It can also relieve symptoms of flatulence, bloating, and windy colic. The usual adult dose is 2-4 teaspoonfuls, taken 20-60 minutes after meals and at bedtime, or as advised by a healthcare provider.
