Pharmacological action
Rutacid has an antacid effect.
Pharmacodynamics
Hydrotalcite has a layered network with a low content of aluminum and magnesium. The release of aluminum and magnesium ions occurs gradually depending on the pH of the gastric juice. The drug provides fast and long-term neutralization of hydrochloric acid while maintaining a pH close to normal. It has a protective effect on the gastric mucosa. Reduces the proteolytic activity of pepsin, binds bile acids.
Pharmacokinetics
The release of magnesium and aluminum ions occurs gradually in the stomach, depending on the pH value. Absorption of the drug occurs in the small intestine. After oral administration, the content of magnesium and aluminum ions in the blood plasma temporarily increases, but penetration into the nervous and bone tissue does not occur (with normal renal function). The absorbed portion is excreted by the kidneys.
