🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine combines two active ingredients with complementary actions. Magaldrate is a complex antacid that neutralizes gastric acid by chemical reaction, raising the pH of the stomach contents. Oxetacaine is a local anesthetic that blocks nerve impulses by reducing the permeability of the nerve membrane to sodium ions, thereby providing rapid pain relief in the irritated mucosa of the esophagus and stomach. Together, they reduce acid irritation and numb the painful areas, offering both immediate and symptomatic relief.
