This medication is primarily used for the treatment of diseases such as gastric and duodenal ulcers and gastritis. It helps alleviate symptoms of heartburn, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and belching caused by excessive gastric acid. By neutralizing stomach acid through its antacid action, it protects the gastric mucosa and alleviates uncomfortable symptoms. This effect contributes to maintaining gastrointestinal health and quickly improving symptoms for patients.
