The Preparation and In Vitro Evaluation of Some Modified Aluminium Hydroxides as Gastric Antacids

Abstract
The preparation and properties of some aluminium hydroxides modified by carbohydrates are described. In vitro evaluation of their antacid properties shows that they are quick acting products of high neutralising capacity and capable of prolonged buffering in the pH range 3 to 4. They compare well in a variety of tests with liquid aluminium hydroxide gel.
