Dried Aluminum Hydroxide Gel

Dried Aluminum Hydroxide Gel Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Dried Aluminum Hydroxide Gel is an inorganic salt used as an antacid. It is a basic compound that acts by neutralizing hydrochloric acid in gastric secretions. Subsequent increases in pH may inhibit the action of pepsin. An increase in bicarbonate ions and prostaglandins may also confer cytoprotective effects.

Gastric-peptic disease occurs as a result of an imbalance between protective factors, such as mucus, bicarbonate, and prostaglandin secretion, and aggressive factors, such as hydrochloric acid, pepsin, and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Antacids work by restoring acid-base balance, attenuating the pepsin activity and increasing bicarbonate and prostaglandin secretion.

How Dried Aluminum Hydroxide Gel works

Dried Aluminum Hydroxide Gel is a basic inorganic salt that acts by neutralizing hydrochloric acid in gastric secretions. Dried Aluminum Hydroxide Gel is slowly solubilized in the stomach and reacts with hydrochloric acid to form aluminum chloride and water. It also inhibits the action of pepsin by increasing the pH and via adsorption. Cytoprotective effects may occur through increases in bicarbonate ion (HCO₃^-) and prostaglandins.

Food Interaction

• Avoid foods rich in citrate. Citrate may increase the absorption of aluminum and has the potential to cause toxicity.

Elimination Route

Approximately 17-30% of the aluminum chloride formed is absorbed.

Elimination Route

Absorbed aluminum chloride is rapidly eliminated by the kidneys in patients with normal renal function.
