Pharmacology & Mechanism of Action
This is a preparation of antacid that ensures the fastest relief from heartburn, indigestion, hyperacidity & flatulence. Since the antacid combination acts locally in the stomach and the components are all dissolved, a consideration of their systemic bioavailability and pharmacokinetic behavior is not necessary. Residual sodium and citrate ions available for absorption are safely handled by the body and excreted by normal metabolic routes. This product is an antacid. These react in the glass of water to produce sodium citrate, which has antacid buffering properties, and carbon dioxide which facilitates eructation. A slight excess of sodium bicarbonate remains with a small, direct acid-neutralising contribution.
