PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Pink colour suspension with orange flavour.
PHARMACODYNAMICS
Sodium Alginate is used with an antacid or a H2 – receptor
antagonist, in the management of
gastro-oesophageal reflux. The alginate reacts with gastric acid to
form a viscous gel (often
termed a raft) which floats on top of the gastric contents. This raft
then acts as a mechanical
barrier to reduce reflux.
Aluminium Hydroxide is an antacid. It is given orally in doses up to
1g, between meals and at
bedtime.
Calcium carbonate is used as an antacid, usually in oral doses of up
to 1.5g. Calcium carbonate
binds phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract to form insoluble
complexes and reduce phosphate
absorption.
PHARMACOKINETICS
Aluminium hydroxide slowly reacts with the hydrochloric acid in the
stomach to form soluble
aluminium chloride, some of which is absorbed.
The aluminium compounds remaining in the gastrointestinal tract, which
amount for most of a
dose, form insoluble, poorly absorbed aluminium salts in the
intestines including hydroxides,
carbonates, phosphates and fatty acid derivatives, which are excreted
in the faeces.
Calcium carbon
