What does it do?

Aluminum hydroxide gel belongs to the class of antacids that neutralize stomach acid. It is primarily used to relieve symptoms of heartburn or indigestion caused by excess stomach acid.

This ingredient neutralizes the acidic environment in the stomach, lowering the acidity that irritates the stomach lining. As a result, the gastric mucosa is protected, and heartburn or pain is reduced.

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

Good to know

Unlike other antacids, aluminum hydroxide gel neutralizes stomach acid while containing aluminum ions, which also protect the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. However, a characteristic of long-term use may include constipation.
