| Aluminium 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. |

| Piretanide |
Piretanide is a loop diuretic for the management of fluid retention and treatment of mild to moderate hypertension. |
|
| Sucroferric oxyhydroxide |
Sucroferric oxyhydroxide is also known as a mixture of polynuclear iron(III)-oxyhydroxide (pn-FeOOH), sucrose and starches. Phosphate binding takes place by ligand exchange between hydroxyl groups and/or water and the phosphate ions throughout the physiological pH range of the gastrointestinal tract. Serum phosphorus levels are reduced as a consequence of the reduced dietary phosphate absorption. |
