In blisters, in a cardboard pack of 2 or 4 blisters with instructions for use of Antareit).
Composition 1 tablet - active substances:
    Magaldrate (aluminum magnesium hydroxide sulfate) - 400 or 800 mg,
    simethicone - 20 or 40 mg.

pharmachologic effect

The therapeutic effect of Antareit chewable tablets is determined by the action of the active substances in the composition. The drug is characterized by pronounced antacid, enveloping, absorbent and carminative properties.
Simethicone is a pharmacologically inert compound that allows you to get rid of the characteristic manifestations of flatulence - colic in the intestine and bloating. The substance destroys the resulting gas bubbles by reducing their surface tension. Due to this, the released gases are partially absorbed by the intestinal wall, and partially are removed to the outside.
Magaldrat is an aluminum-magnesium salt (hydroxide sulfate). It reacts with free hydrochloric acid of the gastric environment with the formation of neutral chloride salts. The action of the substance does not provoke a secondary increase in the secretory activity of the gastric glands.
It also forms a protective layer on the walls of the organ, preventing the formation of erosion and ulceration under the influence of HCl. Aluminum has the ability to bind bile acids and reduce pepsin activity.
The absorption of magnesium and aluminum salts is very slight. Since they do not enter the bloodstream, they do not have a systemic effect, and they do not affect the electrolyte balance. If the functional activity of the kidneys is normal, then the level of trace elements in the blood does not change.
Their concentration may increase to toxic indicators against the background of impaired excretion in chronic renal failure. Simethicone is also not absorbed in the digestive tract, does not form metabolites, and is excreted unchanged with intestinal contents.

Indications for use

What does Antareit help from? Indications for the appointment of Antareit may be:
    symptoms provoked by high acidity in the stomach and reflux esophagitis in the form of belching, heartburn with a sour taste;
    periodic pain in the epigastrium;
    heaviness and bursting discomfort in the abdomen;
    flatulence;
    dyspeptic disorders triggered by dietary disorders, certain groups of drugs (e.g. antibiotics), abuse of strong coffee, tobacco and alcohol.

Contraindications

    With hypersensitivity to the components of the formula;
    If the patient has individual fructose intolerance due to the presence of sorbitol in the formulation of the drug;
    In the severe stage of renal pathologies;
    If a history of hypophosphatemia.
Individuals with renal dysfunctions require special attention when prescribing Antareit, since with long-term use in this case there is a possibility of accumulation of aluminum and magnesium salts in the blood, as well as with Alzheimer's disease. If there is not enough phosphate in the patient's diet, there is a risk of a corresponding deficiency.

Instructions for use

Antareit tablets are taken orally by chewing or holding in the mouth until completely dissolved.
Unless otherwise prescribed by the doctor, adults and adolescents from 12 years old are recommended to take 1 or 2 tablets shortly after a meal. If necessary, the drug can be repeated after 2 hours.

Side effects

Most patients tolerate Antareit well. In rare cases, dyspeptic disorders (nausea and vomiting), as well as intestinal dysfunction (diarrhea or constipation) are possible. Sometimes there is a change in taste.
In case of intolerance to the components, the development of allergic reactions is not excluded - skin rashes like hives, angioedema, and in especially severe cases - anaphylactic shock.
Long-term daily use of the drug can lead to hypophosphatemia. A lack of phosphorus threatens the development of structural disorders in the bone tissue - osteoporosis and osteomalacia. To prevent a shortage of this microelement, it is advisable to make adjustments to the diet, i.e., to consume more phosphorus-rich foods - legumes, cottage cheese, sea fish, etc.
Possible side effects of long-term therapy include decreased functional activity of the kidneys, calcium deposits in their tissues, and the formation of calculi (stones). It is also possible the development of brain damage - encephalopathy.

Children, during pregnancy and lactation

The use of the drug during pregnancy is possible only if the benefit of its use for the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. Avoid prescribing the drug during pregnancy in large doses and for a long time.

With the simultaneous use of the drug Antareit and other medicines, an interval of at least 1-2 hours should be adhered to. With prolonged use, a sufficient intake of phosphorus with food should be ensured. With mild to moderate impaired renal function, it is necessary to regularly monitor the content of aluminum, calcium, phosphate in the blood plasma. The drug contains sorbitol, which is contraindicated in congenital fructose intolerance.
Features of the effect of the drug on the ability to drive vehicles or when working with potentially dangerous mechanisms.
It does not adversely affect the ability to drive vehicles and work with mechanisms that require an increased concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Drug interaction
