Magaldrate is a type of gastrointestinal drug used to treat heartburn, indigestion, and other symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It is a combination of magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide, which work together to neutralize stomach acid and reduce symptoms. Magaldrate is available in both prescription and over-the-counter forms, and is often used in combination with other medications to treat GERD. It is also used to treat peptic ulcers and other gastrointestinal disorders. Magaldrate is generally well-tolerated, with few side effects. Common side effects include constipation, nausea, and vomiting. It is important to follow the instructions of a healthcare provider when taking magaldrate, as it can interact with other medications and cause serious side effects.
