Abstract

A new antacid — consisting of a mixture of mucin, aluminum hydroxide, and magnesium trisilicate has been compared with other currently used antacids (Sippy or amphogel) concerning its effect on gastric acidity. It appeared to produce a decreased acidity in a higher percentage of cases and this antacid effect seemed to last longer than with other substances. There appeared to be less rebound of the acidity with this substance. It is palatable, easily taken by the patients and has a better antacid effect when chewed carefully before swallowing it.
