aluminium hydroxide + magnesium hydroxide

This is an antacid combination product containing aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide as active ingredients, developed and manufactured by Chemidrug (a division of the Saakha Group) in Nepal. It is a small molecule pharmaceutical that works as a non-systemic antacid, directly neutralizing gastric acid in the stomach to provide rapid relief from acid-related symptoms such as heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach. The combination of aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide is designed to balance gastrointestinal side effects while effectively increasing gastric pH. While this type of antacid combination is widely available under various brand names globally, Chemidrug markets it as an approved generic medicine within the Nepalese market.
