Magnesium Carbonate (162.65mg) + Potassium Chloride (59.65mg) + Procaine (13.64mg) (Medical Monograph)

Overview

A fixed-dose combination product primarily used as an antacid, electrolyte replenisher, and local analgesic for gastrointestinal discomfort. Magnesium carbonate neutralizes gastric acid, potassium chloride corrects hypokalemia, and procaine provides local anesthetic action on the gastric mucosa to relieve pain associated with hyperacidity and gastritis.

Magnesium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach to form magnesium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide, thereby neutralizing excess acid and raising gastric pH. Potassium chloride directly supplies potassium ions to correct or prevent hypokalemia. Procaine, a local anesthetic, is intended to block sodium channels in the nerve endings of the gastric mucosa, providing temporary relief from pain associated with acid irritation, gastritis, or ulcers.
