Almagel Oral Suspension for Heartburn Relief (170 ml)

Almagel is a trusted, non-prescription oral suspension designed to provide fast and effective relief from heartburn and other symptoms associated with increased stomach acidity. This product is formulated with a balanced combination of aluminum oxide and magnesium oxide, offering soothing relief for a variety of gastrointestinal conditions.

Key Benefits of Almagel Oral Suspension:

Effective Acid Neutralization

Almagel works by neutralizing excess stomach acid, providing quick relief from the discomfort of heartburn, acid reflux, and related symptoms. Its active ingredients, aluminum oxide, and magnesium oxide, are insoluble and minimally absorbed, ensuring targeted action on the stomach lining without significant systemic absorption.

Comprehensive Symptom Relief

Almagel is effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
• Esophagitis
• Hiatus Hernia
• Acute and Chronic Gastritis
• Gastroduodenitis
• Peptic Ulcer Disease
• Post-Gastric Surgery and Gastroanastomosis

Protective and Anti-Inflammatory Effects

This suspension not only neutralizes acid but also forms a protective barrier on the stomach lining, safeguarding it from the corrosive effects of hydrochloric acid. Additionally, Almagel exerts a mild anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective effect, helping to soothe and protect the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.

Mild Laxative and Carminative Action

The inclusion of sorbitol in the formula offers a gentle carminative (gas-relieving) effect, a moderate choleretic action (stimulating bile flow), and a mild laxative effect, which can help in relieving bloating and discomfort.
