Rutacid, 500 mg 60 pcs

The rutacid has an antacid effect.

Pharmacodynamics

Hydrotalcite has a layered mesh structure with low aluminum and magnesium content. The release of aluminum and magnesium ions occurs gradually depending on the pH of the gastric juice.

The drug ensures fast and prolonged neutralization of hydrochloric acid while maintaining pH close to normal. It has a protective effect on the gastric mucosa. It reduces the proteolytic activity of pepsin and binds bile acids.

Pharmacokinetics

The release of magnesium and aluminum ions occurs gradually in the stomach, depending on the pH value.

The drug is absorbed in the small intestine.

After oral administration the content of magnesium and aluminum ions in the blood plasma is temporarily increased, but there is no penetration into the nervous and bone tissues (with normal renal function). The absorbed portion is excreted by the kidneys.
