title: [A comparative evaluation of the antacid properties of the preparations Maalox and Almagel].
abstract: Basic modes of action and indications for aluminium and magnesium-containing antacids are reviewed. Antacid properties of Maalox were studied versus those of Almagel in 24 duodenal ulcer patients by the following indices of pH-metry: time of pH response onset, "alkaline time", alkalification area and index. All the features were significantly different when assessed in the body of the stomach. Regular Maalox intake as a main medicine provided good results in the treatment of duodenal ulcer (25 responders), gastric ulcer (14 responders), erosive gastroduodenitis (14 responders), erosive reflux-esophagitis (9 responders). Maalox displayed high symptomatic efficacy, safety, insignificant side effects.
