Balancid Novum

Balancid Novum is a well-known over-the-counter antacid used for the relief of heartburn and acid reflux. The primary active ingredients are Calcium Carbonate and Magnesium Hydroxide, which work by neutralizing excess stomach acid.

Originally a staple in Scandinavian pharmacies, the Balancid brand has undergone various owner changes over the decades. It was famously part of AstraZeneca's portfolio before being divested. Today, the brand is owned by Viatris, a global healthcare company formed through the merger of Mylan and Upjohn (a former division of Pfizer). Manufacturing occurs in several countries across Europe depending on the specific market and batch, ensuring widespread availability across its primary regions.
