What does it do?

Lactose hydrate is a form of lactose combined with moisture, primarily added to antacids to neutralize gastric acid. This ingredient helps protect the gastric mucosa and alleviates discomfort due to excessive gastric acid.

Lactose hydrate reacts with acid in the stomach to lower acidity and neutralize gastric acid. This results in relief from symptoms of heartburn or acid reflux.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know
