Kompensan S antacid

Kompensan is a well-known brand of antacids specifically designed to relieve symptoms of heartburn and gastric acidity. The product shown, Kompensan S, includes simethicone to help with gas as well. Originally a brand within the portfolio of major pharmaceutical players, it has transitioned ownership through various mergers and acquisitions in the healthcare sector.

Today, Kompensan is owned by Kenvue, which was spun off from Johnson & Johnson's consumer health division in 2023. While the brand has historical roots in Europe, modern production for the Iberian market (Portugal and Spain) typically takes place in specialized pharmaceutical facilities in Italy. The brand remains a staple in pharmacies across Portugal, often distributed by local Kenvue subsidiaries.
