Redcid Oral Suspension belongs to a group of medicines called antacids, anti-ulcerants used to treat acidity, bloating, indigestion, heartburn, and gas. Redcid Oral Suspension is a combination of two drugs: Magaldrate (antacid) and Simethicone (anti-flatulent). Magaldrate works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone is a mixture of silica gel and dimethicone. It is also known as activated dimethicone. Simethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract.

Also, avoid the consumption of alcohol, as it may increase stomach acidity and reduce the effectiveness of the medication.
