Pharmacotherapeutic group

Antacid.

Pharmacological properties

The drug contains antacid substances - Calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, which provide a quick and long-lasting neutralization of excess hydrochloric acid of the gastric juice, thereby has a protective effect on the gastric mucosa. Achieving a positive effect within 3-5 minutes due to the good solubility of pills and high calcium content.

Pharmacokinetics. As a result of Rennie's interaction with gastric juice, soluble calcium and magnesium salts are formed in the stomach. The degree of absorption of calcium and magnesium from these compounds depends on the dose of the drug. The maximum level of absorption is 10% calcium and 15-20% magnesium.A small amount of absorbed calcium and magnesium is excreted through the kidneys. When kidney function is impaired, plasma levels of calcium and magnesium may increase. In the intestine of soluble salts are formed insoluble compounds that are excreted in the feces.

Indications for use

Symptoms associated with increased acidity of gastric juice and reflux esophagitis: heartburn, sour eructation, recurrent pain in the stomach, feeling of fullness or heaviness in the epigastric region, dyspepsia (including caused by error in diet, medication, abuse of alcohol, coffee nicotine), dyspepsia pregnant.

Interaction with other drugs

Tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolones, cardiac glycosides, levothyroxine, iron preparations, fluorides, phosphates - while the use of antacids reduces the absorption of these drugs.
