Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Medicinal Benefits

Zoecid Syrup is a combination of three drugs: Domperidone, Magaldrate, and Simethicone. Zoecid Syrup belongs to a group of medicines called gastrointestinal agents used to treat acidity, heartburn, and gas. Domperidone is a prokinetic that allows food to move easily by increasing the movements of the stomach and intestine. Magaldrate is an antacid that works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone is an anti-flatulent that works by lowering 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. Together, Zoecid Syrup helps in treating acidity, heartburn and gas.
