Description

Almasilate is an antacid compound, consisting of a crystalline aluminum/magnesium silicate polymer. It guffers gastric acid by binding hydrogen ions within the polymer. It has been used in peptic ulcers and dyspepsia and marketed under the tradename Malinal, however, its therapeutic efficacy was lower than that of other approved antacids.
