Description

Magaldrate is a high-purity, synthetic antacid compound known for its rapid and effective acid-neutralizing capacity. It is a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) valued for its dual action as both an antacid and a mild laxative, making it essential for formulating gastrointestinal therapeutics. This product is primarily required by pharmaceutical manufacturers, nutraceutical producers, and research institutions developing treatments for acid-related disorders such as heartburn, gastritis, and peptic ulcers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Primary active ingredient in antacid tablets, chewable tablets, and oral suspensions for the relief of heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach.
• Gastrointestinal Therapeutics: Used in combination products designed to treat gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and peptic ulcers.
• Nutraceuticals & OTC Medications: Key component in over-the-counter (OTC) digestive health supplements and remedies.
• Veterinary Medicine: Incorporated into antacid preparations for animal health to manage gastric acidity in livestock and companion animals.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex aluminum-magnesium based compounds.
• Research & Development: Used in biochemical and pharmacological research to study acid neutralization mechanisms and develop new GI tract treatments.

Quality Control

Our Magaldrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure it meets the highest standards for pharmaceutical use. Each batch is tested against rigorous in-house specifications, which align with major pharmacopeial guidelines. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing parameters such as assay, identification, and impurity profiles, is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the material must be stored in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Ensure the storage area has low humidity to prevent moisture absorption and caking. Keep the container tightly sealed after each use.
