Drug introduction

Aluminum/magnesium hydroxylate and gastrointestinal agents are a common combination of medications used to treat indigestion and gastrointestinal problems. Aluminum/magnesium hydroxylate can neutralize stomach acid and relieve stomach discomfort and digestive problems. Gas relievers help relieve abdominal bloating and discomfort and promote the elimination of gas.

This combination medication is often used to relieve symptoms such as mild gastrointestinal upset, heartburn, and abdominal bloating. Follow your doctor's or pharmacist's advice on the dosage and frequency of medication as directed.
