Aluminum Hydroxide: neutralizes gastric acidity and increases gastric pH. It binds to intestinal phosphate.

Carboxymethylcellulose: It forms a lubricating barrier minimizing the duration of contact between stomach lining and stomach acid

Magnesium Hydroxide: It promotes bowel evacuation by causing osmotic retention of fluid, which causes the colon to distend with increased peristaltic activity; forms magnesium chloride when reacts with hydrochloric acid; causes water retention in stool, producing laxative effect

Simethicone: alters gas bubble surface tension hence disperses and prevents gas pockets in the GI system
