Dried Aluminium Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide & Dimethylpolysiloxane Tablets

(Antacid & Antiflatulent)

Manufactured by: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. (WHO-GMP Certified)

Exported by: Healthy Inc (Star Export House)

1. Product Introduction

Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. is a specialized Manufacturer of Triple-Action Antacid & Antiflatulent Tablets in India. This comprehensive formulation combines two powerful antacids (Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium Hydroxide) with a highly effective anti-gas agent, Dimethylpolysiloxane (also known as Simethicone).

While standard antacids only neutralize stomach acid, this “Complete Stomach Care” formula also targets Bloating and Trapped Wind, providing holistic relief for Dyspepsia, GERD, and Flatulence. It is the generic equivalent of global brands like Gelusil and Digene.

We offer Contract Manufacturing (Third Party) services for this high-volume OTC product. Incorporating a liquid silicone oil (Dimethylpolysiloxane) into a solid chewable tablet requires advanced technology to ensure the tablet remains dry and stable. Our WHO-GMP certified facility in Mumbai utilizes specialized Adsorbent Granulation techniques to lock the active ingredients into a pleasant-tasting, chewable matrix (Mint/Orange flavors) that disintegrates creamy, not chalky. Healthy Inc manages the export logistics, supplying pharmacy chains and hospitals across Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

3. Manufacturing Technology

Relief from the burn, release from the bloat.

• The Manufacturer: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd.

  • Simethicone Adsorption: Dimethylpolysiloxane is an oil. We use a high-surface-area carrier (like silicon dioxide or the antacid salts themselves) to adsorb this oil, converting it into a free-flowing powder that can be compressed into a tablet without “leaking” or spotting over time.

  • Balanced Bowel Formulation: By combining Aluminium (constipating) and Magnesium (laxative) in a precise 1:1 ratio, we ensure the formulation has a neutral effect on bowel movements, preventing the side effects common with single-salt antacids.

  • Sensory Engineering: We use Micronized Salts to prevent the “gritty” feeling in the mouth. Combined with cooling agents (Menthol) and sweeteners, we create a chewable tablet that feels smooth and refreshing.

• The Exporter: Healthy Inc

  • Retail Ready: We specialize in vibrant, consumer-centric blister packaging (Alu-PVC or Alu-Alu) designed for OTC pharmacy shelves, with clear dosage instructions in multiple languages.

4. Quality Assurance

We adhere to strict Pharmacopoeial standards:

• Acid Neutralizing Capacity (ANC): We strictly test the total mEq of acid neutralized per tablet to ensure rapid and sustained pH control.

• Defoaming Activity: We test the Simethicone component to verify it breaks down foam and bubbles within seconds (Standard: < 15 seconds).

• Assay: We confirm the potency of all three actives is strictly within 90-110% of the label claim.

5. Why Use This Combination?

The 3-in-1 solution for digestive distress.

• Mechanism:

  1. Fast Neutralization: Magnesium Hydroxide reacts instantly with stomach acid to provide immediate pain relief.

  2. Sustained Neutralization: Aluminium Hydroxide reacts slower, maintaining the pH buffer for a longer period.

  3. Gas Relief: Dimethylpolysiloxane lowers the surface tension of gas bubbles in the stomach. This causes small, trapped bubbles to coalesce (join together) into larger bubbles that are easily expelled (burped) or passed, relieving the painful pressure and bloating.

• Key Indications:

  • Gas & Bloating: Trapped wind after eating.

  • Hyperacidity: Heartburn, Acid Reflux.

  • Post-Meal Heaviness: Dyspepsia.

6. Export and Regulatory Support

• Dossier Support: CTD / ACTD available.

• Certificates: Free Sale Certificate (FSC), COPP (WHO-GMP), and COA.

• Logistics: Efficient shipping via Air or Sea (FOB Mumbai / CIF).

7. Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Who manufactures these tablets?

  A: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. manufactures them in India.

• Q: Is it Digene / Gelusil?

  A: Yes, it is the Generic Equivalent. These brands use the exact same combination of Aluminium, Magnesium, and Simethicone.

  A: It is the chemical name for Simethicone, the world’s safest and most effective anti-gas agent. It is not absorbed by the body; it just works physically on the bubbles.

  A: We offer Sugar-Free versions. We use Sucralose or Sorbitol for diabetic-friendly formulations.
