Maalox

* Compound: Each sachet contains:

Aluminum hydroxide 460mg

Magnesium hydroxide 400mg.

* Auxiliary components:

sucrose solution, liquid sorbitol (non-crystallizing), xanthan gum, guar, natural fruit flavor, sodium chloride.

* Properties: Antacid drug, does not have a systemic effect. Its antacid capacity is 20 meq H+ per 1 sachet (in vitro determination by the Rosset-Rice method). The drug neutralizes free hydrochloric acid without causing secondary hypersecretion of hydrochloric acid. Due to the increase in pH when it is taken, the peptic activity of gastric juice decreases. It also has an adsorbing and enveloping effect, due to which the impact of damaging factors on the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum is reduced.

Maalox® is able to eliminate or relieve heartburn for several hours. Due to the balance of its composition in relation to the effect on the motility of the gastrointestinal tract, Maalox® usually does not cause constipation. Magnesium hydroxide and algeldrate transmit x-rays.
