Pharmacodynamics

The drug neutralizes free hydrochloric acid without causing secondary hypersecretion of hydrochloric acid.

Due to an increase in pH, when it is taken, the peptic activity of gastric juice decreases.

It also has an absorbent and enveloping effect, due to which the effect of damaging factors on the mucous membrane is reduced.

Pharmacokinetics

Magnesium and aluminum hydroxides are considered topical antacids that are practically not absorbed when taken in recommended doses and, accordingly, do not have systemic effects.
