Table of contents:

antacidsAntacids are a group of drugs that lower the acidity of the stomach contents. This effect is achieved by the adsorption or neutralization of hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice. It should be noted that antacids for the most part have adsorbing and neutralizing effect.

Mostly neutralizing activity characteristic of the compounds of some alkali metals. These include, in particular, include calcium carbonate precipitated, sodium bicarbonate, magnesium carbonate basic, magnesium oxide. Adsorbing activity possess ion-exchange resin and some aluminum compounds. Aluminium oxide, phosphate, hydroxide, particularly in the colloidal form, and also have enveloping effect, while increasing protection of the stomach lining, reducing the secretory activity of the pancreas.

Antacids, increasing the pH of the stomach contents up to 4.5, reduced peptic activity of gastric juice. Medicines with the aluminum content contribute to the inhibition of the activity of pepsin, reducing, thus, the value of the peptic factor in the formation of ulcers and maintaining inflammatory processes in the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. Colloidal antacids of aluminium (in particular in the form of a gel ‘aluminium phosphate gel”, “Almagell”) is formed on the mucosa in some way a protective layer. This layer adsorbs different damaging the mucous substances contained in the intestinal or digestive cavity, including toxins of the microbial body, the bile acids.
