It is a medicine that belongs to the group of antacids, so it works by neutralising excess stomach acid. This improves acidity and heartburn.
It is indicated for adults and children over 12 years of age.
For adults and children over 12 years of age, it is advisable to take 2 tablets 3 times a day, between half an hour and an hour after eating.
Up to a maximum of 8 grams per day, i.e. 10 tablets.
If you are allergic to almagate or to any of the other ingredients of this medicinal product,
If you suffer from Alzheimer's disease.
If you have undiagnosed bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, haemorrhoids, fluid retention (oedema), liver complication during pregnancy (toxaemia gravidarum) or diarrhoea.
In this case, as it is a drug that is poorly absorbed in the intestine, it has few side effects.
In some cases, although the frequency has not been determined, diarrhoea may occur, which disappears after discontinuation of treatment.
If you have mild to moderate kidney disease, as aluminium and magnesium ions may accumulate in the body in the long term. In this case the lower dose may be recommended. Almax is not recommended in severe kidney failure.
If you are on a low-phosphorus diet, have diarrhoea, malabsorption or are very weak, as aluminium salts decrease the absorption of phosphorus, which can lead, especially with prolonged treatment, to a decrease in the phosphate content in the blood (loss of appetite, muscle weakness, general malaise, etc.) and insufficient mineralisation of phosphates in the blood (loss of appetite, muscle weakness, general malaise, etc.).) and insufficient bone mineralisation (osteomalacia).
If you are an elderly patient, as the continued use of aluminium-containing antacids may aggravate an existing bone disease (osteoporosis and osteomalacia), due to the reduction of phosphorus and calcium.
The active substance is Almagate. Each tablet contains 750 mg of Almagate.
The other ingredients are: mannitol, povidone, potato starch, calcium saccharin, ammonium glycyrrhizate, magnesium stearate and cola flavouring.
We do not advise patients with kidney disease such as severe renal insufficiency to take this medicine.
On the other hand, in elderly patients, it is not necessary to change the dose. Do not exceed 8 g per day, i.e. 10 tablets.
