A ALIMENTARY TRACT AND METABOLISMA02 DRUGS FOR ACID RELATED DISORDERS
A02A ANTACIDS
This group comprises plain antacid drugs, antacids in combination with antiflatulents and antacids in combination with other drugs.
Antacids in combination with liquorice root or linseed are classified in this group.
Plain antiflatulents, see A03AX - Other drugs for functional gastrointestinal disorders.
| The DDDs for antacids are based on treatment of hyperacidity and dyspepsia, not ulcus. One exception, however, is antacids in combination with antispasmodics in A02AG, where the DDDs are based on treatment of ulcus. For ordinary salt combinations in A02AD, fixed doses are used instead of individual doses for every single preparation (10 tablets = 10 UD; 50 ml mixture = 10 UD). |
A02AG Antacids with antispasmodics
Preparations containing a combination of antacids and antispasmodics are classified in this group if the main use is as an antacid. See also A03 - Drugs for functional gastrointestinal disorders.
