pharmachologic effect

Almagel Neo has adsorptive, antacid, carminative, enveloping actions. For the neutralization of free HCl in the lumen of the stomach and the binding of bile acids there correspond magnesium hydroxide and an algebra. The laxative effect of magnesium hydroxide is counterbalanced by the effect of an algal, which is aimed at slowing the motility of the intestine.
Under the action of simethicone, gas bubbles collapse, their formation becomes more difficult. The gases released by the action of simethicone are absorbed by the walls of the intestine, then, under the action of peristalsis, they are removed from the human body.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

In view of its chemical and physiological inertness, simethicone is not able to be absorbed into organs and tissues, and therefore is removed from the lumen of the digestive system in its original form. The absorption of magnesium and aluminum ions in the intestine is quite low.
The concentration of magnesium and aluminum in the blood remains at the same level with a normally functioning renal system. With kidney diseases, it is possible to increase the concentration of Al and Mg to toxic levels.
