Gasex (Syrup & Tablets)
Himalaya’s Gasex (Syrup & Tablets) is an ayurvedic proprietary medicine used as carminative and antispasmodic. It gives relief in abdominal distension, intestinal gas, belching, flatulence and indigestion. However, if the main symptom of indigestion is heartburn or acid reflux, the Gasex is not suitable. According to our experience, Gasex works well when patient has main problem of intestinal gurgling, intestinal gas or flatulence.
