Properties:

An antacid preparation, which is a balanced combination of algeldrate (aluminum hydroxide) and magnesium hydroxide. Neutralizes free hydrochloric acid in the stomach, reduces the activity of pepsin, which leads to a decrease in the digestive activity of gastric juice.

Not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.

It has an enveloping, adsorbing effect. Protects the gastric mucosa by stimulating the synthesis of prostaglandins (cytoprotective action). Protects the mucous membrane from inflammatory and erosive-hemorrhagic lesions as a result of the use of irritating and ulcerogenic agents such as ethanol, NSAIDs (for example, indomethacin, diclofenac, acetylsalicylic acid), corticosteroids.

The therapeutic effect after taking the drug occurs after 3-5 minutes.
