Magnesium Hydroxide and Aluminium Hydroxide are antacids widely used for the treatment of gastric acidity, indigestion, peptic ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). These compounds are highly effective in neutralizing excess stomach acid, reducing symptoms such as heartburn, bloating, and upset stomach.
At BluepillExpress, we offer comprehensive third-party manufacturing services for a wide range of Magnesium Hydroxide and Aluminium Hydroxide formulations, including oral suspensions and chewable tablets, customized to the needs of our domestic and international clients. With our WHO-GMP certified facilities, ISO 9001:2015 accreditation, and strong commitment to regulatory compliance and patient safety, we deliver scalable, efficient, and quality-assured solutions to global pharmaceutical brands.
Product Overview: Magnesium Hydroxide & Aluminium Hydroxide
Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) and Aluminium Hydroxide (Al(OH)₃) work as non-systemic antacids. When consumed, they react with gastric acid (HCl) to form water and neutral salts, thereby raising stomach pH and relieving acid-related discomfort.
Mechanism of Action:
- Magnesium Hydroxide: Rapid-acting, offers fast acid neutralization and mild laxative effect
- Aluminium Hydroxide: Slower in onset, provides prolonged acid suppression and mild constipating effect
- Combination Benefit: Balances the gastrointestinal motility (neutral laxative effect)
These agents are often combined with Simethicone, Oxetacaine, or digestive enzymes to enhance therapeutic benefit, reduce gas formation, and offer better tolerability.
Therapeutic Applications
Formulations containing Magnesium Hydroxide and Aluminium Hydroxide are used in the management of a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders, including:
- Hyperacidity and acid reflux
- Indigestion and dyspepsia
- Peptic ulcer disease
- GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)
- Flatulence and abdominal bloating (in combination with Simethicone)
- Painful or burning stomach sensation
- Functional dyspepsia
These formulations are considered safe for short-term symptom relief and are widely prescribed in both prescription and OTC markets.
