Pharmacological action

Antacid preparation. Neutralizes free hydrochloric acid of gastric juice without causing its secondary hypersecretion. In addition, an increase in the pH of gastric juice with the administration of Maalox® leads to a decrease in the activity of pepsin in gastric juice. The drug also has an adsorbent and enveloping action, due to which the effect of damaging factors on the mucous membrane of the esophagus and stomach decreases.
