Magaldrate & Simethicone Tablets

Dual-Action Relief for Gas, Acidity & Stomach Discomfort.  Magaldrate & Simethicone Tablets are veterinary gastrointestinal tablets formulated to relieve excess stomach acid, gas, and bloating in cats.

This dual-action formula combines:

• Magaldrate – an antacid that neutralizes gastric acid
• Simethicone – an anti-foaming agent that reduces gas bubbles

Suitable for short-term digestive support under veterinary guidance.

When to Consider Magaldrate & Simethicone for Your Cat

These tablets may be recommended for:

• Mild gastritis
• Acid reflux (lip licking, burping, regurgitation)
• Gas and bloating
• Post-antibiotic digestive discomfort
• Dietary transition-related indigestion
• Mild, non-systemic vomiting
• NSAID-associated gastric irritation (vet advised)

Not intended as a replacement for diagnosis of chronic gastrointestinal disease.

How It Works

Together, they address two common causes of feline digestive discomfort: acidity and gas.
