Aluminum hydroxide has been used for more than 50 years as a stomach antacid, and is a key ingredient in most over-the-counter (OTC) remedies for acid reflux and indigestion.
Since it is constipating in some cases and may be used to reduce diarrhea, it is usually combined with magnesium-containing antacids to counteract the diarrheal effect of magnesium.
Aluminum hydroxide is characterized by its long activity, so it is very successful, especially in the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcer pain or inflammation of the esophagus with GERD, and also helps in the treatment of ulcers.
