Pharmacological action
Almagel A drug, which is a balanced combination of algeldrate (aluminum hydroxide), magnesium hydroxide and benzocaine. It neutralizes free hydrochloric acid in the stomach, reduces the activity of pepsin, which leads to a decrease in the digesting activity of gastric juice. It has an enveloping, adsorbing effect. Protects the gastric mucosa by stimulating the synthesis of prostaglandins (cytoprotective effect). This protects the mucous membrane from inflammatory and erosive hemorrhagic lesions as a result of the use of irritating and ulcerogenic agents, such as ethyl alcohol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. indomethacin, diclofenac, aspirin, acetylsalicylic acid, corticosteroid drugs).
The therapeutic effect after taking the drug occurs in 3-5 minutes. The duration of action depends on the rate of gastric emptying. When taken on an empty stomach, the action lasts up to 60 minutes. When taken an hour after a meal, the antacid effect can last up to 3 hours.
Does not cause secondary hypersecretion of gastric juice.
Benzocaine has a local anesthetic effect in the presence of severe pain.
