Pharmacological action

A combined remedy, the action of which is determined by the components that make up its composition. It has an antacid, adsorbent, enveloping, carminative effect.

Algeldrate (aluminum hydroxide) and magnesium hydroxide neutralize free hydrochloric acid in the stomach, reduce the acidity of gastric juice, and bind bile acids.

The laxative effect of magnesium hydroxide balances the ability of algeldrate to slow intestinal motility.

Simethicone hinders the formation of gas bubbles and contributes to their destruction. The gases released in this case are absorbed by the intestinal walls and removed from the body due to peristalsis.

Pharmacokinetics

Simethicone due to physiological and chemical inertia is not absorbed into organs and tissues and after passing through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is excreted unchanged.

The absorption of aluminum and magnesium ions in the intestine is low. With normal kidney function, the concentration of aluminum and magnesium in the blood does not change.

In patients with chronic renal failure, the level of aluminum and magnesium in the blood may increase to toxic values as a result of impaired excretion.
