2 Aluminium hydroxide
UNII 5QB0T2IUN0 - ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE

3 Magnesium hydroxide
UNII NBZ3QY004S - MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE

Magnesium hydroxide is practically insoluble in water and solution is not effected until the hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach to form magnesium chloride. Its neutralising action is almost equal to that of sodium bicarbonate. When the dose is in excess of that required to neutralise the acid the intragastric pH may reach pH 8 or 9. Acid rebound following magnesium hydroxide is clinically insignificant. Magnesium hydroxide has an indirect cathartic effect resulting from water retention in the intestinal lumen.
