Antipeptic activity of antacids.
An in vitro experiment based on the digestion of haemoglobin with pepsin was carried out to test the claim made by some manufacturers that the antacids used in their proprietary preparations had an intrinsic antipeptic activity independent of the change brought about by alteration of pH. In no case could these claims be substantiated.
