What does it do?

Synthetic aluminum silicate is a man-made aluminum silicate compound used to relieve heartburn and indigestion caused by excess gastric acid. It is primarily included in medications to neutralize gastric acid and protect the gastric mucosa.

This ingredient reacts with gastric acid to lower acidity and forms a protective barrier on the stomach wall to protect the gastric mucosa from irritation. This helps alleviate symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux.

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

Good to know

Unlike other antacids, synthetic aluminum silicate has a characteristic of adhering to the gastric mucosa, enhancing its protective effect. Additionally, it contains aluminum, so caution is needed with prolonged use.
