The drug RUBRAGEL contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Aluminium hydroxide
UNII 5QB0T2IUN0 - ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE
|
|
Aluminium hydroxide is a slow-acting antacid. It is used to provide symptomatic relief in gastric hyperacidity. In addition, the antipeptic and demulcent activity of aluminium hydroxide helps to protect inflamed gastric mucosa against further irritation by gastric secretions. |
|
2
Magnesium oxide
UNII 3A3U0GI71G - MAGNESIUM OXIDE
|
|
Magnesium oxide (MgO), or magnesia, is an empirical formula of MgO and consists of a lattice of Mg2+ ions and O2− ions held together by ionic bonding. |
| 3 Simethicone |
|
Simethicone is a chemically inert, non-systemic gastric defoaming agent that works by altering the elasticity of interfaces of mucus-embedded bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract. The gas bubbles are thus broken down or coalesced and in this form gas is more easily eliminated through eructation or passing flatus. |
