On the combination of antacid, the pharmacokinetics and gastric adhesion of $\^$14/C-aceglutamide aluminum complex($\^$14/C-AGA) were examined in rats. Specially, This study was focused on the drug interaction that the coadministration of antacid may affect the oral absorption and gastric adhesion of aceglutamide aluminum complex(AGA). After the oral administration of $\^$14/C-AGA and antacid to rats, the radioactivity of plasma and urinary recovery was lower than that of $\^$14/C-AGA administered group. Relatively, the cumulative recovery of radioactivity in feces was increased significantly. The comparative bioavailability of $\^$14/C-AGA from the plasma concentration-time curve and urinary recovery was about 60%. in vitro, the effect of antacid in the gastric adhesion of AGA was not significantly different between AGA and AGA/antacid treatment. And it accorded well with the result of in vivo experiment. In conclusion, on the combination of antacid, the oral absorption of AGA was decreased but the gastric adhesion was not affected in respect of drug interaction.

On the combination of antacid, the pharmacokinetics and gastric adhesion of [$^{14}c$]aceglutamide aluminium complex([$^{14}C$]AGA) were examined in rats. Specially, this study was focused on the drug interaction that the co-administration of antacid may affect the oral absorption and gastric adhesion of aceglutamide aluminium complex(AGA). In the study of the oral co-administration of [$^{14}C$] AGA and antacid(aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide(AM)), the radioactivity of plasma and urinary recovery was lower than that of [$^{14}C$]AGA alone administered group. However, the cumulative recovery of radioactivity in feces was increased significantly. The comparative bioavailability of [$^{14}C$] AGA from the plasma concentration-time curve and urinary recovery was about 60%. In vitro, the effect of antacid on the gastric adhesion of AGA was not significatly different between AGA and AGA/antacid treatment. And it accorded well with the result of in vivo experiment. In conclusion, on the combination of antacid, the oral absorption of AGA was decreased by the gastric adhesion was not affected in respect of drug interaction.

The combined products of antacid and anti-ulcer agent were prepared with antacid composed of aluminium hydroxide dried gel, magnesium hydroxide and simethicone with a ratio of 1:1:0.1 (M) and anti-ulcer agent, aceglutamide aluminium (AGA). The efficacy of antacid was evaluated in vitro with Fuchs, Johnson-Duncan and Rosset-Rice methods and in vivo using an aspiration method in rat. The addition of anti-ulcer agent did not affect the neutralizing capacity of M significantly. The combined products with the M/AGA ratios of 2.3:1 and 3.4:1 produced the maximum pH of $4.0{\sim}5.8$ and the duration time of $64{\sim}137$ min in vitro test. The in vivo neutralizing test in rats showed the rapid increase of gastric pH up to 3.5 within 30 min and the gastric pH of $4{\sim}6$ was kept for 5 hr.

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) has been considered one of major causes in patient with globus symptom. Diagnostic methods for GER are gastroesophagoscopy, acid perfusion test esophagogram, esophageal manometry, 24-hour double probe pH-metry, and so on. According to the literature, positive rate of GER on esophagogram was reported variably from 4.7% to 45.9% and the outcome of classical treatment with antacid and prokinetic agent was reported from 70% to 84%. We reviewed the medical records of 81 patients with globus symptom. Each patient had been performed esophagogram and treated with antacid and prokinetic agent. Positive rate of GER on esophagogram was 46.9%. Complete resolution and improvement of globus symptom was 79% overally, 92% in positive group of GER rut esophgogram, and 72% in negative group. Considering aspects of time-cost and compliance of patient esophagogram is one of the screening methods of GER in patients with globus symptom. Antacid and prokinetic agent is recommended in treatment of patients with globus symptom.

Antacid granules were prepared by agglomeration and powder method in high speed agitation type granulator. The copmositions of the test antacids were sodium bicarbonate nad magnesium carbonate nad a coating material was powder of polyvinylacetal diethyl-aminocacetate (AEA) and an additive material was talc powder. The dissolution characteristics of base from the antacid granules were investigated to evaluate neutralization capacity of hydrochloric profile of base and neutralization behavior, the following results were obtained : The prepared granules showed a pH-dependent dissolution pattern of a base. The dissolution profile of a base was varied with addition of talc powder as well as coating amount of AEA. The relationship between the ratio of dissolution retarded time for 20% and 10% AEA. The relationship between the ratio of dissolution retarded time for 20% AEA coated granules $\theta_{20}/\theta_{10}$ and the diameter reduction of the granules was explained by the rate process of neutralization of hydrochloric acid.

Objectives: This study was carried out to investigate the aluminum concentrations in blood, urine and drinking water, the factors which affect the concentrations and the role of silicon in patients who were taking antacid containing aluminum. Methods: We selected 122 peptic ulcer patients as cases and 144 healthy examinees as controls. Blood, urine, and drinking water were collected from the each study subject and we measured aluminum concentrations as well as silicon concentrations in the specimens. The factors including silicon affect on the aluminum concentrations were also analyzed, Results: 1. The mean duration of antacid administration was 12 months, and the mean daily and total amount of aluminum administration were 0.9 g and 304 g per each patient, respectively. 2. The blood and urine aluminum concentrations were significantly higher in the case. 3. The blood silicon concentration was significantly lower in the control group, and the urine silicon concentration was significantly higher in the case. 4. Urine aluminum concentration was significantly correlated with blood aluminum concentration (r=0.18), and urine silicon concentration was correlated with blood aluminum (r=0.19) and urine aluminum concentrations (r=0.13). 5. The longer the duration of antacid administration and the larger the total and daily amount of aluminum in the antacid were, the higher urine aluminum and silicon concentrations were, but not to a statistically significant degree. Conclusions: Blood and urine aluminum concentrations were higher in the ulcer patients. The authors suggest that follow-up studies of the patients who administered antacid with high aluminum content for long duration should be done.

There are many reports on the stability of drugs in powders and tablets. The stabilities of ascorbic acid in the antacid preparations, such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, magnesium trisilicate, magnesium alumino silicate, and dried aluminum hydroxide gel under various humidities were examined. From the result of the experiment, it was assumed that the concentration of ascorbic acid, the amount of water-vapor sorption, and the physical character of the antacid ingredients were the main factors, influencing the degradation of ascorbic acid. The ascorbic acid, mixed with carbonates, such as calcium carbonate, was degradaded rapidly, while the preparation with dried aluminum hydroxide gel was slightly degraded after 10 days. A 2% ascorbic acid in the prepation was rapidly degraded than 10% ascorbic acid in the preparation.
