2.1. Pharmacodynamics Aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide gels both assist in neutralizing gastric acid in the stomach. However, when combined with magnesium hydroxide, it increases the pH of the gastric juice faster, and at the same time reduces the constipation of aluminum hydroxide gel.
2.2. Pharmacokinetics Aluminum hydroxide is slowly soluble in the stomach and reacts with hydrochloric acid to form aluminum chloride and water. Subsequently, about 17 - 30% of the aluminum chloride formed is rapidly absorbed and eliminated in the urine in subjects with normal renal function. In the small intestine, aluminum chloride is converted to an insoluble and poorly absorbed alkaline aluminum salt. Other amounts of aluminum combine with phosphate to form aluminum phosphate, which is insoluble in the intestines and is eliminated in the feces.
Magnesium hydroxide dissolves slowly in the stomach and reacts with hydrochloric acid to form magnesium chloride and water. Approximately 15 - 30% of the magnesium chloride formed is absorbed and subsequently excreted in the urine in subjects with normal renal function. The amount of unmetabolized magnesium hydroxide that can be metabolized in the small intestine is not significantly absorbed.
3. Notes when using Remint-s
Remint-s is usually taken orally at the dose prescribed by the doctor and depends on the individual's condition.
Usual dose for adults: 1-2 tablets/time, chew the tablet 1-3 hours after meals and at bedtime.
