Used to treat symptoms of excess stomach acid including heartburn, acid indigestion, sour stomach, and general gastric discomfort. May also be used as an adjunct in managing conditions where gastric acid reduction is beneficial.

Aluminum magnesium silicate and magnesium hydroxide work together to neutralize hydrochloric acid in the stomach, raising gastric pH. The aluminum component provides buffering capacity while magnesium hydroxide offers rapid acid neutralization. The combination helps balance the constipating effect of aluminum with the laxative effect of magnesium.

May interact with other medications by affecting their absorption; take doses 1-2 hours apart from other drugs. Not recommended for long-term daily use without medical supervision. Patients with kidney disease, aluminum toxicity concerns, or those on sodium-restricted diets should consult a healthcare provider before use. Aluminum-containing antacids may cause constipation while magnesium-containing ones may cause diarrhea.
