Magaldrato Doc (Magaldrate)

Magaldrate, the active ingredient in Magaldrato Doc, is an antacid presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It neutralizes excess stomach acid and is used to relieve symptoms such as heartburn, dyspepsia and acid indigestion in adults and children, and is available over the counter in many EU countries.

Magaldrate is generally well tolerated, but adverse reactions can occur.
