Dried Aluminium Hydroxide, Magnesium Trisilicate & Peppermint Oil Tablets

(Antacid & Carminative)

Manufactured by: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. (WHO-GMP Certified)

Exported by: Healthy Inc (Star Export House)

1. Product Introduction

Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. is a specialized Manufacturer of Chewable Antacid Tablets in India. This classic formulation combines Dried Aluminium Hydroxide Gel and Magnesium Trisilicate (two potent antacids) with Peppermint Oil (a natural carminative).

Designed for the rapid relief of Heartburn, Dyspepsia, and Flatulence, this “Triple Action” formula is a staple in OTC markets globally. It offers a balanced approach: the Aluminium component provides rapid neutralization, the Magnesium component extends the duration of action, and the Peppermint Oil relieves bloating and gas pressure.

We offer Contract Manufacturing (Third Party) services for this high-volume OTC product. Manufacturing a palatable chewable tablet requires expertise in Flavor Masking and Texture Engineering. Our WHO-GMP certified facility in Mumbai utilizes specialized granulation techniques to ensure the tablet is soft enough to chew but hard enough to withstand shipping, with a refreshing peppermint burst that masks the chalky taste of the minerals. Healthy Inc manages the export logistics, supplying supermarkets and pharmacies across Africa, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia.

3. Manufacturing Technology

Balancing the gut, masking the chalk.

• The Manufacturer: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd.

  • Balanced Bowel Effect: Single-ingredient antacids often cause side effects (Aluminium causes constipation; Magnesium causes loose stools). We strictly control the ratio of these two salts to ensure they counteract each other’s side effects, resulting in a neutral effect on bowel movements.

  • Volatile Oil Retention: Peppermint Oil evaporates easily. We use a specialized Adsorption Technique, spraying the oil onto the Magnesium Trisilicate (which acts as an adsorbent carrier) during the final blending stage. This locks the flavor inside the tablet until it is chewed.

  • Chewable Matrix: We use Mannitol and Sorbitol in the base to provide a “Cooling Effect” and a smooth mouthfeel, avoiding the gritty “sand-like” texture common in cheaper antacids.

• The Exporter: Healthy Inc

  • Pocket Packs: We specialize in manufacturing “Roll Packs” (like candy rolls) which are extremely popular in emerging markets for single-dose OTC sales at local shops.

4. Quality Assurance

We adhere to strict Pharmacopoeial standards:

• Acid Neutralizing Capacity (ANC): We test every batch to certify exactly how much stomach acid (mEq) one tablet can neutralize, ensuring therapeutic efficacy.

• Disintegration: Although chewable, we ensure the tablet breaks down rapidly in simulated gastric fluid.

• Assay: We confirm the potency of the Aluminium and Magnesium salts is strictly within 90-110% of the label claim.

5. Why Use This Combination?

Classic relief for the “Heavy Stomach.”

• Mechanism:

  1. Neutralization: The Aluminium and Magnesium salts react chemically with excess Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) in the stomach, raising the pH to a safe level (pH 3-4) and relieving the “burning” pain.

  2. Adsorption: Magnesium Trisilicate is a powerful adsorbent. It binds to Pepsin and bile salts, which can irritate the stomach lining.

  3. Carminative: Peppermint Oil relaxes the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES) slightly to allow trapped gas to escape (burping) and relieves intestinal cramping.

• Key Indications:

  • Heartburn: Acid reflux after spicy food.

  • Dyspepsia: Indigestion and “heaviness” after a large meal.

  • Flatulence: Bloating and trapped wind.

6. Export and Regulatory Support

• Dossier Support: CTD / ACTD available.

• Certificates: Free Sale Certificate (FSC), COPP (WHO-GMP), and COA.

• Logistics: Efficient shipping via Air or Sea (FOB Mumbai / CIF).

7. Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Who manufactures these tablets?

  A: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. manufactures them in India.

• Q: Do I swallow them whole?

  A: NO. These are Chewable Tablets. You must chew them thoroughly to let them coat your stomach. If you swallow them whole, they won’t work effectively.

• Q: Why Peppermint?

  A: It helps expel gas (burping) and masks the taste of the chalky antacids.

• Q: Can I take it if I have kidney problems?

  A: Avoid. Magnesium and Aluminium can build up in the blood if your kidneys aren’t working well. Consult a doctor.
