This medicine is indicated for heartburn associated with bloating.
During digestion, gas can be produced, and it's the excess gas that causes bloating: the stomach is swollen, there's pain, and flatulence and belching are frequent.
Heartburn and bloating can occur following, for example, a heavy or fatty meal.
Heartburn and bloating relief with Carbosymag
A Complete Solution for Digestive Disorders
Carbosymag 24-dose twin-capsule pack is indicated for the treatment of heartburn associated with bloating. For adults and children over 6 years of age, this medicine offers a complete solution to relieve the unpleasant symptoms of digestive disorders.
Antacid and carminative action
Carbosymag's twin capsules combine two complementary active ingredients: magnesium carbonate and activated charcoal. Magnesium carbonate acts as an antacid, neutralizing the excess gastric acid responsible for heartburn, while activated charcoal has carminative properties that reduce bloating by absorbing intestinal gases.
Convenient, measured use
Carbosymag is easy to use and dose, thanks to its 24-dose twin-capsule box format. Each twin capsule contains the precise amount of active ingredients needed for effective symptom relief. Simply take one capsule with a glass of water at the time of symptoms to experience rapid relief.
The medicine comes in the form of a green capsule (whose active ingredients are released in the stomach) and an orange capsule (whose active ingredients are released in the intestine) to be taken simultaneously.
The usual dosage is 3 doses (one dose = 1 green capsule + 1 orange capsule) per day.
Oral administration.
Take before or after main meals.
Duration of treatment varies according to symptomatology.
