Aluminum hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide is a compound often used as an antacid to help relieve heartburn, indigestion, and stomach upset. It works by neutralizing stomach acid, reducing discomfort. Additionally, aluminum hydroxide can be used to treat certain conditions like ulcers and kidney problems by balancing acid levels and preventing excess acidity. It typically comes in a powder or liquid form and should be used as directed by a healthcare professional. While effective, it’s important not to use it long-term without medical advice, as excessive use can cause side effects like constipation or interfere with mineral absorption.
