Pharmacodynamics

The medicine contains hydrotalcite, a 3rd generation antacid. The drug allows you to quickly and for a long time reduce the acidity level of gastric secretion to the required natural level of 3-5 units, without causing increased alkalization of the gastric contents.

The drug has gastroprotective properties, which are created as a result of long-term binding of hydrochloric acid and pepsin, and in addition to this, activation of the protective functions of the stomach.

In case of treatment with Talcid (including long-term treatment), no changes in peripheral blood parameters were noted either. Hematocrit, hemoglobin, urea, sugar, leukocytes, and in addition calcium and potassium ions do not change.

Mga pakikipag-ugnayan sa ibang mga gamot

Talcid cannot be combined with tetracycline antibiotics, and in addition with fluoroquinolone derivatives (including ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin). The active substance of Talcid, hydrotalcite, impairs the absorption of the above antibiotics, thereby reducing the effectiveness of their action.

Talcid can also reduce the absorption of digoxin, iron, and also anticoagulants from the coumarin group and anthropodeoxycholic acid. If such drugs need to be taken simultaneously, it is necessary to maintain a 1-2 hour interval between uses.
