Effect of a new antacid on basal and meal-stimulated gastric secretion.

Our study of the comparative neutralizing effectiveness of four antacids on the acidity and pH of the basal gastric secretion in 32 patients showed that using the conventional doses of two tablets of Rolaids, two tablets of Di-Gel, 15 ml. of Maalox liquid or two tablets of Conquel, they are equal in their acid neutralizing capacity. The duration of action for 45-60 minutes. Conquel, in a dose of two tablets, was a potent buffer for the peptone-meal stimulated secretion. The duration of action lasted for longer than two hours.
