Aluminium Hydroxide Dried Gel

An antacid combination of dried aluminium hydroxide gel, magnesium hydroxide, and oxetacaine is used to alleviate heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach. They may be used to treat these symptoms in patients suffering from peptic ulcers, gastritis, esophagitis, or excessive stomach acid (gastric hyperacidity). They react with stomach acid to neutralise it. This drug only works on current stomach acid and does not prevent acid formation. It can be taken alone or in conjunction with other drugs that reduce acid production.
