The drug is used against excessive acidity of gastric juice (as an antacid). It contains pharmaceuticals which reduce the acidity of the stomach contents by their strong neutralising effect on hydrochloric acid, responsible for the acidity of the stomach contents. The drug is indicated for heartburn and for the penetration of acidic stomach contents back into the esophagus (gastroesophageal reflux).
