In Stomach ulcers
Stomach ulcers are painful sores that develop in the inner lining of the stomach or gut (intestine). Merigel Syrup reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes which prevents further damage to the ulcer as it heals naturally.

You need to keep taking Merigel Syrup as prescribed by the doctor for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.
In Bloating
