The present invention relates to an aqueous pharmaceutical suspension for oral use, and a method of preparation, having antacid and antiulcer properties which contains a therapeutically effective amount of calcium carbonate in combination with magnesium carbonate and/or magnesium trisilicate and a ...
The carbonateantacids(sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate) can causeexcessive belching, nausea,abdominal distention, andflatulence. Theseantacidswhen used in high doses or in patient with kidney failure may result in metabolic alkalosis. The possibility of high calcium levels in the blood (hyperc...
Either calcium carbonate or calcium phosphate provides the neutralizing power for calcium-based antacids. Both are equally effective in neutralizing stomach acid; in large doses or with frequent use, the calcium will cause kidney stones or constipation when used regularly over a shorter time span. ...
High-dose calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate when taken together can cause a condition called a milk-alkali syndrome. Its symptoms include headache, nausea, irritability, and weakness,hypercalcemia(high blood calcium levels), and reduced function of the kidneys. ...
‘hydrochloric acid’ that helps to break down the proteins ingested through food. This acid causes the stomach contents to be acidic with a pH level of 2 or 3 (pH levels are a measure of acidity in the stomach: the lower the number, the greater the acidity). Thegastrointestinal tractis...

[Therapy with antacids: dyspepsia with and without ulcer] 1. The effect of antacids on non-ulcer dyspepsia is difficult to assess because of the heterogeneity and complexity of this symptom. Nevertheless, antacids may be used in the treatment of dyspepsia because they have a pronounced placebo...
Abstract Antacids are commonly used self-prescribed medications. They consist of calcium carbonate and magnesium and aluminum salts in various compounds or combinations. The effect of antacids on the stomach is due to partial neutralisation of gastric hydrochloric acid and inhibition of the proteolytic...
