About this product
Overview
Eno Regular is an effervescent antacid salt designed to provide rapid relief from acidity, indigestion, and heartburn. Formulated with ingredients like sodium bicarbonate and citric acid, it effervesces when dissolved in water, producing carbon dioxide gas that helps alleviate symptoms of acidity and discomfort in the stomach.
Uses
- Acidity: Eno Regular is commonly used to neutralize excess stomach acid and relieve symptoms of acidity, including heartburn, acid reflux, and sour stomach.
- Indigestion: It helps ease discomfort associated with indigestion by aiding in the expulsion of trapped gas from the digestive system, reducing bloating and discomfort.
- Heartburn: Eno Regular offers rapid relief from the burning sensation and discomfort of heartburn caused by the reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus.
