Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium Aluminium Silicate represent a combination of antacid medications commonly used to alleviate symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort, such as heartburn, acid indigestion, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Aluminium Hydroxide acts as an acid-neutralizing agent, raising the pH of gastric contents by binding to excess stomach acid and reducing its acidity. This action helps provide rapid relief from symptoms of hyperacidity and reflux, soothing the esophageal mucosa and reducing inflammation. Additionally, Aluminium Hydroxide’s ability to form a protective coating over the gastrointestinal mucosa offers further protection against acid-related damage, promoting healing and reducing the risk of ulcer formation.

Magnesium Aluminium Silicate, on the other hand, functions as an adsorbent and viscosity-increasing agent, forming a gel-like substance when combined with water. This gel acts as a physical barrier, coating the gastric mucosa and protecting it from irritation and erosion caused by gastric acid. Moreover, Magnesium Aluminium Silicate’s adsorbent properties enable it to bind to bile salts, fatty acids, and toxins, aiding in their removal from the gastrointestinal tract and reducing symptoms of diarrhea and dyspepsia. The combination of Aluminium Hydroxide and Magnesium Aluminium Silicate in antacid formulations offers synergistic benefits, providing fast and effective relief from gastrointestinal discomfort while promoting gastric mucosal protection and overall digestive health.
