What does it do?

Synthetic hydrotalcite is an inorganic compound that functions to neutralize stomach acid. It is used in medications to alleviate discomfort caused by excessive stomach acid in gastrointestinal disorders.

Synthetic hydrotalcite reacts with the acidic environment in the stomach to neutralize the acid. This reduces irritation of the stomach mucosa, alleviating symptoms of heartburn and indigestion.

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

Good to know

Unlike other antacids, synthetic hydrotalcite is a composite antacid that contains aluminum and magnesium, allowing for both stomach acid neutralization and stomach mucosal protection effects. Additionally, it remains in the gastrointestinal tract for a relatively long time, demonstrating prolonged action.
