Antacids
●Antacids are a class of medicines that neutralize acid in the stomach. They contain
ingredients such as aluminum, calcium, magnesium, or sodium bicarbonate which
act as bases (alkalis) to counteract stomach acid and make its pH more neutral.
●Antacids are used to relieve the symptoms of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD also
called acid reflux), heartburn or indigestion (also called dyspepsia).
● By neutralizing stomach acid, antacids relieve symptoms such as burning in the chest or
throat area caused by acid reflux, a bitter taste in the mouth, a persistent dry cough, pain
when lying down, and regurgitation.
Some antacids are also used for completely unrelated medical conditions,
for example:
Aluminum antacids: lower elevated blood phosphate levels and prevent the
formation of kidney stones
● Ginger- a carminative and causes the expulsion of gases from the stomach and
enhances the excretion of gastric juice to relief from dyspepsia, flatulence and
colic. It also acts as antispasmodic.
● Calcium: nausea, vomiting, kidney stones, high blood calcium levels, alkalosis
(1) those that decrease the blood supply by narrowing the small blood vessels
(e.g., epinephrine and cocaine),
(2) those that abstract water from the tissue (e.g., glycerol and alcohol), and
(3) those that coagulate the superficial tissue layers into a crust (e.g., metallic astringents,
such as calamine or alum).
Uses
Used in medicine to reduce swollen mucous membranes that result from
inflammations of the nasal, gastrointestinal, and urinary passages, astringents
are also frequently employed to dry up excessive secretions and (in this
connection they are often known as styptics) to stop bleeding
In medicine, astringents cause constriction or contraction of mucous
membranes and exposed tissues and are often used internally to reduce discharge
of blood serum and mucous secretions
