Pack Size: 120ml

Manufactured By: Opal Laboratories 

Used For:

Aluphagel Syrup 120ml an antacid commonly used to relieve symptoms of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. It helps to neutralize stomach acid and protect the lining of the stomach and esophagus. It is typically prescribed or recommended for:

  • Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining.
  • Heartburn (acid reflux): Reduces the discomfort caused by excess stomach acid entering the esophagus.
  • Peptic ulcers: Helps manage and prevent stomach or duodenal ulcers by reducing the acidity.
  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Helps to relieve the symptoms of GERD, including acid reflux and indigestion.

It works by binding to the stomach's acid and reducing its activity, which alleviates the symptoms of excess stomach acid.

Side Effects:

Aluminium phosphate is generally well-tolerated, but some side effects may occur, particularly with long-term use. These include:

  • Constipation
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea (less common)
  • Stomach discomfort or bloating

Less common but more serious side effects could include:

  • Phosphate deficiency: Long-term or excessive use may lower phosphate levels, leading to weakness, fatigue, or bone problems.
  • Aluminum toxicity: Rare but possible in people with kidney disease or those using it for a long time.

Precautions:

  • Kidney Problems: People with kidney disease should avoid prolonged use of aluminium-based antacids because aluminum can accumulate in the body and lead to toxicity.
  • Phosphate Deficiency: Long-term use can lead to low levels of phosphate, which is important for bone health.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Aluminium phosphate is generally considered safe for short-term use during pregnancy, but it's best to consult a healthcare provider before using it.
  • Drug Interactions: Aluminium phosphate may interfere with the absorption of other medications, particularly antibiotics (e.g., tetracyclines, quinolones), iron supplements, and other drugs. It's important to take other medications at least 1-2 hours before or after using this antacid.
