Description
Malvacid Pharmacodynamics
The drug neutralizes free hydrochloric acid without causing secondary hypersecretion of hydrochloric acid. Due to an increase in pH, peptic activity of gastric juice decreases when taking it. It also has adsorptive and enveloping effect, due to which the impact of damaging factors on the mucous membrane is reduced.
Indications
To relieve symptoms of dyspeptic complaints (discomfort or pain in the epigastric region, heartburn, acid reflux).
Dosage and administration
- Tablets should be chewed or chewed thoroughly.
- Adults and teenagers older than 15 years: 1-2 tablets 3-4 times a day 1-2 hours after meals and at night. In case of reflux esophagitis the drug is taken a short time after the meal. The maximum number of intakes of the drug is 6 times a day. Do not take more than 12 tablets a day. The course of treatment should not exceed 2-3 months. When episodic use (for example, for discomfort after errors in diet) – take 1-2 tablets once a day.
