Application & Use

Magaldrate is a common antacid drug that is used for the treatment of duodenal and gastric ulcers, esophagitis from gastroesophageal reflux.Magaldrate is a hydrated complex of hydroxy magnesium aluminate. It initially reacts rapidly with acid and releases aluminium hydroxide which then acts more slowly. The freshly released alum hydroxide is in the impolymerized, more reactive form. It is a good antacid with prompt and sustained neutralizing action. Simethicone when added offers additional benefit by preventing flatulence development.
