Phosphalugel refers to drugs that lower the content of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Phosphalugel is used in the symptomatic treatment of diseases of the digestive tract, manifested by increased acid production and damage to the mucous membranes of organs. It is also possible to use for other indications. It is recommended to use as short a course as possible to reduce the risk of complications.
    Antacids are good for quickly relieving unpleasant symptoms associated with acidity in the stomach or acid in the esophagus. For the course of treatment, other medications are used, such as proton pump inhibitors.

Composition and form of release

The gel form of aluminum phosphate is the active ingredient. One sachet contains 12.38 grams of a gel-like substance or 2.48 grams of an active ingredient in pure form. Additional substances: sorbitol solution (70 percent), water, potassium salt of sorbic acid, calcium salt of sulfuric acid in the form of a dihydrate, orange flavor, pectin, agar-agar.

Phosphalugel action

The active component of Phosphalugel neutralizes the hydrochloric acid of the gastric contents, reducing the acidic properties of the juice, and reduces the hydrolysis of proteins under the action of organ enzymes. The penetration of a chemical compound into the bloodstream is almost completely absent. Unlike many medicines in this group containing aluminum, Phosphalugel does not significantly lower the level of phosphorus compounds in the body.

Additional properties

    Protection of the inner lining of the stomach. The liquid substance in micellar form envelops the organ tissue and protects cells from the action of acid and other adverse factors.
    Absorbent protective properties. The substance helps to remove unwanted components from the digestive tract, including infectious agents and toxic chemical compounds.
    The neutralization of hydrochloric acid is not accompanied by the creation of an alkaline environment. The level of acid-base balance in the organ remains within normal limits. There is no response to an increase in the level of acidic content.
    The use of Phosphalugel improves the timely passage of food substrates into the small intestine and other parts of the gastrointestinal tract.

Side effects

Sometimes there are undesirable effects after penetration of the dosage form inside. Rarely, intolerance to the chemical compounds included in the dosage form is found, expressed in the form of allergies.
Major side effects:
    Gastrointestinal tract: stool retention (often in old age and with prolonged bed rest), urge to vomit, change in taste.
    The results of the analyzes: a decrease in the concentration of phosphorus compounds with prolonged use, a decrease in the concentration of calcium, an increase in the content of aluminum in the body.
    Musculoskeletal system: destruction of bone tissue, bone disorders and deformities.
    Reproductive and excretory systems: excretion of large amounts of calcium in the urine, the formation of calcium crystals in the renal tissue, nephrocalcinosis, dysfunction of the renal tissue.
    Nervous system: brain damage.
    The appearance of complications while taking the medication should be discussed with your doctor. To reduce the risk of the formation of negative consequences, it is recommended to take Phosphalugel as rarely as possible.

Assimilation and excretion

It belongs to the group of non-absorbable antacid medications. The active ingredients do not cross the intestinal barrier, do not enter the bloodstream, and are deposited as insoluble chemical compounds. The substance acts primarily within the gastrointestinal tract. Small amounts of the aluminum compound can enter the bloodstream. The absorption effect depends on the dosage.

Indications for the use of Phosphalugel

Many pathologies of the digestive system are accompanied by an increase in the acidic properties of gastric contents or the adverse effect of hydrochloric acid on tissues. Normally, this chemical compound helps to assimilate food substrates, neutralize infectious agents and perform other important functions. Due to the action of Helicobacter pylori microorganisms, the natural protection of the tissues of the gastric wall from acidic contents is disrupted, which causes cell damage. Also, the work of the valve is often disrupted, due to which the acidic content enters the esophagus, oral cavity, respiratory tract. Inflammatory processes are formed. Heartburn occurs.

Phosphalugel for poisoning

In case of alcohol intoxication, poisoning of various etiologies, it helps to cleanse the body and remove, adsorbing, toxic substances will help a sorbent with a mild laxative effect. Phosphalugel for vomiting, which is caused by poisoning, will help to calm the gastrointestinal tract by forming an enveloping layer on the gastrointestinal mucosa, which will help stop the urge to vomit.

The instructions for use indicate that Fosfalugel for heartburn not only reduces acidity, but also forms a protective layer that soothes the mucous membrane.

Phosphalugel with rotovirus

An intestinal infection called rotavirus affects almost all children aged 6 months to 3 years, sometimes adults also suffer from rotavirus, but with less severe symptoms.

    Inflammation of the stomach, dyspepsia: before meals.
    Functional pathologies of the colon: in the morning on an empty stomach and before bedtime.

Additional Information

    The remedy is used carefully in old age, with pathologies of the cardiovascular system, cirrhosis of the liver tissue and impaired renal function. In older men and women, the concentration of aluminum in the bloodstream sometimes increases.
    Tetracyclines, glycosides, iron-based drugs should be used one hundred and twenty minutes after taking the antacid (or later.)
    Taking an unintended dose can interfere with gastrointestinal motility and cause stool retention. On the recommendation of a doctor, laxative medications can be used to eliminate this complication. The recommended dosages must be observed.

    Therapy using Phosphalugel should not affect the results of visual diagnostics of the gastrointestinal tract.
    During childbearing and breastfeeding, it is possible to use the agent in the indicated dosages as prescribed by a specialist.
    The active ingredient affects the absorption of many medicines by neutralizing the acidic properties of gastric contents and the formation of insoluble compounds. You need to get the advice of a specialist for the simultaneous use of several medicines. Vitamin C and citrates increase the absorption of aluminum in the digestive tract.
    In patients with impaired functioning of the excretory system, while taking Phosphalugel, thirst, a decrease in blood pressure and a slight suppression of reflex activity can develop.
    The active ingredient does not reduce the speed of psychomotor reactions.
