Maalox lemon sugar-free tablets are antacid-containing medicines indicated in adults for heartburn and acid reflux.
For warnings, precautions and contraindications, please consult the Maalox Lemon sugar-free tablets leaflet.
The stomach: a veritable acid bath.
Once in the stomach, food undergoes a number of transformations over several hours. The aim is for it to leave the stomach as a mush and pass into the small intestine, where digestion continues. To achieve this, the stomach secretes hydrochloric acid, which breaks down food, especially proteins, and enzymes, which also attack proteins. It's a veritable acid bath in which food is cut up, stirred and reduced to a pulp.
How do the stomach and oesophagus protect themselves from the surrounding acidity? The stomach secretes mucus to line its lining, preventing acid from attacking its walls. The esophagus, on the other hand, has no such protection: if its lower sphincter is fragile, it will be sensitive to any upwelling of gastric juice.
Maalox Lemon sugar-free tablets contain topical antacids. They act by neutralizing the acids secreted by the stomach. It is indicated for adults (aged 15 and over) in the treatment of heartburn and acid reflux.
