CREMAFFIN EML

Magnesium Hydroxide and Liquid Paraffin work synergistically in this formulation. Magnesium Hydroxide acts as an antacid, neutralizing excess stomach acid by converting it into water and magnesium chloride. This helps to relieve symptoms associated with acid reflux and indigestion. Liquid Paraffin, also known as mineral oil, is a hydrophobic liquid that coats the inner lining of the stomach and intestines, forming a protective barrier. This barrier helps prevent the irritation and inflammation caused by stomach acid, providing relief from gastrointestinal discomfort. Together, these two components work to alleviate symptoms of acid-related disorders and promote gastrointestinal health.
