Maalox suspension counteracts excessive acidity of gastric juice. Hydrochloric acid is present in the stomach and is responsible for the acidity of the stomach contents. The active substances in Maalox suspension have a strong neutralizing effect on hydrochloric acid and thus reduce the acidity of the stomach contents. Without consulting your doctor, Maalox suspension is used to treat problems related to excess stomach acid, such as heartburn or the return of acidic stomach contents back to the mouth. At the doctor's recommendation, it is used to treat inflammations of the gastric mucosa, inflammations of the esophagus, and may be part of the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcer.
