The drug FACIDEX TOTAL contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Famotidine
UNII 5QZO15J2Z8 - FAMOTIDINE
|
|
Famotidine is a potent competitive H2-receptor antagonist. Famotidine has a rapid onset of action and, at the recommended doses, has a long duration of action and is highly effective at relatively low blood concentrations. |
|
2
Magnesium hydroxide
UNII NBZ3QY004S - MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE
|
|
Magnesium hydroxide is practically insoluble in water and solution is not effected until the hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach to form magnesium chloride. Its neutralising action is almost equal to that of sodium bicarbonate. When the dose is in excess of that required to neutralise the acid the intragastric pH may reach pH 8 or 9. Acid rebound following magnesium hydroxide is clinically insignificant. Magnesium hydroxide has an indirect cathartic effect resulting from water retention in the intestinal lumen. |
|
3
Calcium carbonate
UNII H0G9379FGK - CALCIUM CARBONATE
|
|
Calcium carbonate releases, in a pH-dependent manner, calcium ions in the stomach. Calcium carbonate is widely used as antacid and extensively used as a dietary supplement. |
