Acid Reflux -Cause Remedy Cure https://bit.ly/3H92t5i Every day, the digestive system is always being used due to regular food and liquid intake. When food and drinks are induced, it goes through a passage called the esophagus that helps breakdown the food. When food reaches its destination or the stomach, acid and pepsin is released to help aid in the process of digestion.
If and ever a problem in the digestive system occur, many people often neglect these possible problem by using home remedial treatment to aid with digestive problems. However, a common digestive disease that most people have neglected and encountered is the acid reflux or heartburn. This digestive disease or disorder occurs when the esophagus is irritated by the acid regurgitating to the stomach while acid is being seeped back through the esophagus and throat.
There are different kinds of digestive disease but the most common of all is acid reflux or gastro- esophageal reflux disease known also as heartburn. There are symptoms to indicate if you have acid reflux. These symptoms will likely help an individual indicate whether they have acid reflux. T
he most common symptoms that acid reflux is associated with is the searing sensation in the digestive tract, usually the chest or throat, that individuals will encounter. Even symptoms of hoarseness, acid in the mouth, sour or bitter taste, wheezing and coughing are also symptoms of acid reflux.
Acidity is said to have occurred when a person suffers from heartburn, and also when formation of gas takes place in the stomach. It is a common problem which many suffer from, and occurs mainly due to excess secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. To know more about Acidity visit here: www.lazoi.com
Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach lining that can be either acute or chronic. Acute gastritis is short-term and caused by factors like NSAIDs, alcohol, bile reflux, or radiation/chemotherapy. Chronic gastritis is long-term inflammation that can result from repeated acute episodes or be caused by H. pylori bacteria or chemical irritants. Symptoms include epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, and bleeding. Treatment involves antacids, H2 blockers, PPIs, and antibiotics for H. pylori. Nursing care focuses on pain relief, nutrition, fluid balance, education, and symptom management.
Hydrochloric acid is the main component of gastric juices produced by the stomach. It acidifies stomach food content and helps in proper digestion of foods.

This document summarizes information about gastric acid secretion and factors that influence it. It discusses:
1) Gastric acid is produced by parietal cells in the stomach and plays a key role in protein digestion. Parietal cells secrete acid in response to gastrin, histamine, and acetylcholine.
2) Peptic ulcers are caused by an imbalance between gastric acid and the protective mucus lining, often due to H. pylori infection. Antacids and proton pump inhibitors are used to treat ulcers by reducing acid.
3) Proton pump inhibitors irreversibly block the proton pump in parietal cells, strongly inhibiting gastric acid secretion.
The document discusses acid-controlling agents and their classification. It describes how the stomach secretes hydrochloric acid and other substances. There are two main types of glands in the stomach - oxyntic and pyloric glands. The oxyntic glands contain parietal cells which produce hydrochloric acid. Acid-controlling agents are classified into five categories - antacids, anti-secretory agents, mucosal protective agents, ulcer healing agents, and anti-Helicobacter pylori agents. Common anti-secretory agents discussed are H2 receptor antagonists like ranitidine and proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole. Sucralfate and bismuth are mentioned

It also outlines various laxative categories including bulk-forming, emollient, hyperosmotic, saline, and stimulant laxatives and how they work to treat constipation. Nursing priorities are discussed like assessing for electrolyte imbalances, encouraging diet and fluid changes over long-term laxative use, and monitoring for therapeutic effects and side effects
The document provides information about gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including what it is, common symptoms, causes, potential dangers if left untreated, diagnostic methods, and treatment options. GERD is a chronic condition where stomach acid rises into the esophagus, commonly causing heartburn and regurgitation. Left untreated, it can damage the esophagus and increase the risk of esophageal cancer. Doctors may diagnose it based on symptoms or perform tests like endoscopy. Treatment includes lifestyle changes and medications like H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

5. INTRODUCTION
ACTION MECHANISM-ANTACIDS-
• Antacids perform a neutralization reaction, i.e. they buffer gastric acid,
raising the pH to reduce acidity in the stomach. When gastric hydrochloric
acid reaches the nerves in the gastrointestinal mucosa, they signal pain to the
central nervous system. This happens when these nerves are exposed, as in
peptic ulcers. The gastric acid may also reach ulcers in the esophagus or the
duodenum.
• An Antacid is any substance, generally a base or basic salt, which neutralizes
stomach acidity. They are used to relieve acid indigestion, upset stomach,
sour stomach, and heartburn.
6. CAUSES OF ACID INDIGESTION
• Excess stomach acid results in a state of
discomfort known as acid indigestion
• Acid indigestion may result form a variety of
factors including:
• Overeating
• Alcohol consumption
• Eating certain foods
• Anxiety
• Smoking
• Certain Drugs, i.e. Aspirin
7. SIDE EFFECTS
Excess calcium from supplements, fortified food and
high-calcium diets, can cause the milk-alkali
syndrome, which has serious toxicity and can be
fatal. In 1915, Bertram Sippy introduced the “Sippy
regimen” of hourly ingestion of milk and cream, the
gradual addition of eggs and cooked cereal, for 10
days, combined with alkaline powders, which
provided symptomatic relief for peptic ulcer disease.
Over the next several decades, the Sippy regimen
resulted in renal failure, alkalosis, and hypercalemia,
mostly in men with peptic ulcer disease. These
adverse effects were reversed when the regimen
stopped, but it was fatal in some patients with
protracted vomiting. Milk alkali syndrome declined
in men after effective treatments were developed for
peptic ulcer disease. But during the past 15 years, it
has been reported in women taking calcium
supplements above the recommended range of 1200
to 1500 mg daily, for prevention and treatment of
osteoporosis, and is exacerbated by dehydration.
Calcium has been added to over-the-counter
products, which contributes to inadvertent excessive
intake. Compounds containing calcium may also
increase calcium output in the urine, which might be
associated with kidney stones. Calcium salts may
cause constipation. Other adverse effects from
antacids include:
1. Carbonate : Regular high doses may cause
alkalosis, which in turn may result in altered
excretion of other drugs, and kidney stones. A
chemical reaction between the carbonate and
hydrochloric acid may produce carbon dioxide
gas. This causes gastric distension which may not
be well tolerated. Carbon dioxide formation can
also lead to headaches and decreased muscle
flexibility.
2. Aluminum hydroxide : May lead to the formation
of insoluble aluminium-phosphate-complexes,
with a risk for hypophosphatemia and
osteomalacia. Although aluminium has a low
gastrointestinal absorption, accumulation may
occur in the presence of renal insufficiency.
3. Magnesium hydroxide : Has laxative properties.
Magnesium may accumulate in patients with
renal failure leading to hypermagnesemia, with
cardiovascular and neurological complications.
See Milk of magnesia.
4. Sodium : Increased intake of sodium may be
deleterious for arterial hypertension, heart
failure and many renal diseases.
8. SOME MORE SIDE EFFECTS
Fortunately, because acid reflux is such a common
problem, antacids are among the medicines available
and free of side effects for most people. Side effects
from antacids vary depending on individual and
other medications they may be taking at the time.
Those who experience side effects most commonly
suffer from changes in bowel functions, such as
diarrhea, constipation, or flatulence. Although
reactions to any drug may vary from person to
person, generally those medications that contain
aluminum or calcium are the likeliest to cause
constipation, those that contain magnesium are the
likeliest to cause diarrhea. Some products combine
these ingredients, which essentially cancels them
out, to forestall unpleasant side effects. In general,
people with kidney problems should probably not
take antacids as this can sometimes cause a condition
known as alkalosis. In other people, side effects may
occur if substances such as salt, sugar, or aspirin, are
added to a particular medication. As with all
medications, always carefully read the product label
on the package and check with your doctor or
pharmacist if you have any question about potential
drug interactions or side effects. Some side effects,
such as constipation and diarrhea, are fairly obvious.
Other more serious side effects, such as stomach or
intestinal; bleeding, can be more difficult to
recognize. In general, any sign of blood in the stool or
the presence of vomiting is a danger sign and should
be brought to the immediate attention of a physician.
If your symptoms persist for more than 10 days to
two weeks while you are using the medication, you
should stop taking it and consult your doctor.
Persistent symptoms may indicate that you have
more a serious problem than occasional acid reflux.
Pregnant or nursing baby should always consult your
doctor before taking this medication. Generally, you
should not give these medications to children under
the age of 12 unless under the advice and supervision
of your doctor or the package label has indicated that
the product is safe for young children. Constant use
of antacids leads to a condition called acid rebound
where the stomach begins to over secrete acid in
order to make up for the quantity that is being
neutralized.
9. HYPERACIDITY, CAUSE FOR INTAKE OF ANTACIDS
Hyperacidity or acid dyspepsia simply means
increase of acidity in the stomach. The human
stomach secretes hydrochloric acid which is
necessary for the digestion of food. When the
stomach contains an excessive amount of
hydrochloric acid, then the condition is called
as hyperacidity or acid dyspepsia. Sometimes,
hyperacidity is confused for a simple
bellyache. This is because people with
hyperacidity usually generally get pains in
their stomachs with similar symptoms as
bellyaches. This confusion is more rampant in
children who cannot differentiate between
different kinds of stomach ailments. However,
hyperacidity can be found out with the sour
belching and aftertaste of the already eaten
food in the mouth. The prime medical factors
of hyperacidity or acid dyspepsia are as
follows :
(i) Stomach Ulcers: Ulcers in the stomach are
one of the prime causes of hyperacidity. Once
this is diagnosed, the treatment will be done
by the surgical removal of the stomach ulcers.
(ii) Acid Reflux Disease: Some people have a
gastric disorder called as the acid reflux
disease. In this condition, the acids of the
stomach, i.e. gastric acids or hydrochloric
acid, get refluxed up to the food pipe, which is
biologically called as the esophagus. When
this happens, it builds up the level of acidity
in the stomach.
(iii) Stomach Cancers: Stomach cancers can also
cause hyperacidity as one of their symptoms.
This is a very rare case, but the mortality
rate is quite high. Hence, a hyperacidity that
lasts more than two weeks must be
immediately shown to the doctor and got
checked for any cancer. A timely diagnosis can
enable complete treatment of the disease.
10. Symptoms of Hyperacidity
Hyperacidity symptoms are observed a couple of hours after eating, when the food has been digested and still
excess acids are left within the stomach. At this stage, the following symptoms are seen:-
1. A typical feeling of restlessness
2. Feeling of nausea (wanting to throw up) and actual vomiting
3. Sour belching with an aftertaste of the already-eaten food
4. Stiffness in the stomach, which is called as atonic dyspepsia
5. Lack of desire for any other type of food
6. Indigestion
7. Constipation
INTERACTIONS
Altered pH or complex formation may alter the bioavailability of other drugs, such as tetracycline. Urinary
excretion of certain drugs may also be affected.
PROBLEMS WITH REDUCED STOMACH ACIDITY
Reduced stomach acidity may result in an impaired ability to digest and absorb certain nutrients, such as iron
and the B vitamins. Since the low pH of the stomach normally kills ingested bacteria, antacids increase the
vulnerability to infection. It could also result in reduced bioavailability of some drugs. For example, the
bioavailability of ketoconazole (antifungal) is reduced at high intragastrical pH (low acid content).

12. SOME IMPORTANT COMMONLY USED ANTACIDS
Aluminum hydroxide, Al(OH)3, Alum, is the most stable form of aluminum in normal
conditions. It is found in nature as the mineral gibbsite (also known as hydrargillite)
and its three, much more rare, polymorphs: bayerite, doyleite and nordstrandite.
Closely related are aluminum oxide hydroxide, AlO(OH), and aluminum oxide, Al2O3,
differing only by loss of water. These compounds together are the major components of
the aluminium ore bauxite. Freshly precipitated aluminium hydroxide forms gels,
which is the basis for application of aluminium salts as flocculants in water
purification. This gel crystallizes with time. Aluminium hydroxide gels can be
dehydrated (e.g., with the utility of water-miscible non-aqueous solvents like ethanol)
to form an amorphous aluminium hydroxide powder, which is readily soluble in acids.
Heat-dried aluminum hydroxide powder is known as activated alumina and is used in
gas purification, as a catalyst support and an abrasive.
1. Aluminium Hydroxide
13. • PRODUCTION
• Bauxites are heated in pressure vessels with sodium hydroxide solution at 150–200 °C
through which aluminum is dissolved as aluminate (Bayer process). After separation of
ferruginous residue (red mud) by filtering, pure gibbsite is precipitated when the liquid is
cooled and seeded with fine grained aluminum hydroxide. The aluminum hydroxide is
further calcined to give alumina, which may be smelted in the Hall-Héroultprocess in
order to produce aluminum.
• CHEMISTRY
• Gibbsite has a typical metal hydroxide structure with hydrogen bonds. It is built up of
double layers of hydroxyl groups with aluminum ions occupying two-thirds of the
octahedral holes between the two layers. Aluminum hydroxide is amphoteric. It dissolves
in acid, forming Al(H2O)63+ (hexaaquaaluminate) or its hydrolysis products. It also
dissolves in strong alkali, forming Al(OH)4- (tetrahydroxoaluminate).
14. • PHARMACOLOGY
Pharmacologically, this compound is used as an antacid under names such
as Alu-Cap, Aludrox or Pepsamar. The hydroxide reacts with excess acid
in the stomach, reducing its acidity. This decrease of acidity of the
contents of the stomach may in turn help to relieve the symptoms of
ulcers, heartburn or dyspepsia. It can also cause constipation and is
therefore often used with magnesium hydroxide or magnesium carbonate,
which have counterbalancing laxative effects. This compound is also used
to control phosphate (phosphorus) levels in the blood of people suffering
from kidney failure. Aluminum hydroxide, alum, is included as an
adjuvant in some vaccines (e.g., Alhydrogel, Anthrax Vaccine), since it
appears to contribute to induction of a good antibody (Th2) response. Its
pharmacological action is not known. However, it has little capacity to
stimulate cellular (Th1) immune responses, important for protection
against many pathogens.
15. Magnesium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical
formula Mg(OH)2. As a suspension in water, it is often called milk
of magnesia because of its milk-like appearance. The solid mineral
form of magnesium hydroxide is known as brucite. Magnesium
hydroxide is common component of antacids and laxatives; it
interferes with the absorption of folic acid and iron. Magnesium
hydroxide has low solubility in water, with a Ksp of 1.5×10−11; all
of magnesium hydroxide that does dissolve does dissociate. Since
the dissociation of this small amount of dissolved magnesium
hydroxide is complete, magnesium hydroxide is considered a
strong base.
2.Magnesium Hydroxide
16. • HISTORY
In 1829, Sir James Murray used a fluid magnesia preparation of his own design
to treat the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the Marquis of Anglesey. This was so
successful (advertised in Australia and approved by the Royal College of
Surgeons in 1838) that he was appointed resident physician to Anglesey and
two subsequent Lords Lieutenants, and knighted. His fluid magnesia product
was patented two years after his death in 1873. The term milk of magnesia
was first used for a white-colored, aqueous, mildly alkaline suspension of
magnesium hydroxide formulated at about 8%w/v by Charles Henry Phillips
in 1880 and sold under the brand name Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia for
medicinal usage. Although the name may at some point have been owned by
GlaxoSmithKline, USPTO registrations show “Milk of Magnesia” to be
registered to Bayer, and “Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia” to Sterling Drug. In the
UK, the non-brand (generic) name of “Milk of Magnesia” and “Phillips’ Milk of
Magnesia” is “Cream of Magnesia” (Magnesium Hydroxide Mixture, BP).
• PREPARATION
Magnesium hydroxide can be precipitated by the metathesis reaction between
magnesium salts and sodium, potassium, or ammonium hydroxide: Mg2+ (aq.)
+ 2OH− (aq.) → Mg(OH)2 (s)
17. • USES
Suspensions of magnesium hydroxide in water (milk of magnesia) are used as an antacid to
neutralize stomach acid, and a laxative. The diarrhea caused by magnesium hydroxide carries
away much of the body’s supply of potassium, and failure to take extra potassium may lead to
muscle cramps. Magnesium hydroxide is also used as an antiperspirant armpit deodorant.
Milk of magnesia is useful against canker sores (aphthous ulcer) when used topically. Milk of
magnesia is sold for medical use as chewable tablets, capsules, and as liquids having various
added flavors. It is used as an antacid, though more modern formulations combine the
antimotility effects of equal concentrations of aluminum hydroxide to avoid unwanted laxative
effects. Magnesium hydroxide powder is used industrially as a non-hazardous alkali to
neutralize acidic wastewaters. It also takes part in the Biorock method of building artificial
reefs. Solid magnesium hydroxide has also smoke suppressing and fire retarding properties.
This is due to the endothermic decomposition it undergoes at 332 °C (630 °F) : Mg(OH)2 →
MgO + H2O
• BIOLOGICAL METABOLISM
When the patient drinks the milk of magnesia, the suspension enters the stomach. Depending on
how much was taken, one of two possible outcomes will occur. As an antacid, milk of magnesia
is dosed at approximately 0.5–1.5g in adults and works by simple neutralization, where the
hydroxide ions from the Mg(OH)2 combine with acidic H+ ions produced in the form of
hydrochloric acid by parietal cells in the stomach to produce water. Only a small amount of the
magnesium from milk of magnesia is usually absorbed from a person’s intestine (unless the
person is deficient in magnesium). However, magnesium is mainly excreted by the kidneys so
long-term, daily consumption of milk of magnesia by someone suffering from renal failure
could lead in theory to hypomagnesemia.
18. 3.Bismuth Subsalicylate
Bismuth subsalicylate, with a chemical formula C7H5BiO4, is
a drug used to treat nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset
stomach, diarrhea, and other temporary discomforts of the
stomach and gastrointestinal tract. Commonly known as
pink bismuth, it is the active ingredient in popular
medications
such as Pepto-Bismol and modern (since 2003) Kaopectate.
PHARMACOLOGY
As a derivative of salicylic acid, bismuth salicylate displays
anti-inflammatory action and also acts as an antacid.
19. • ADVERSE EFFECTS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS
There are some adverse effects. It can cause a black tongue and black stools in some users of the
drug, when it combines with trace amounts of sulfur in saliva and the gastrointestinal tract.
This discoloration is temporary and harmless. Some of the risks of salicylism can apply to the
use of bismuth subsalicylate. Children should not take medication with bismuth subsalicylate
while recovering from influenza or chicken pox, as epidemiologic evidence points to an
association between the use of salicylate-containing medications during certain viral infections
and the onset of Reye's syndrome. For the same reason, it is typically recommended that
nursing mothers not use medication containing bismuth subsalicylate (such as Pepto-Bismol)
because small amounts of the medication are excreted in breast milk and pose a theoretical
risk of Reye's syndrome to nursing children.
• RADIOACTIVITY
While bismuth is technically radioactive, its half life is so long, on the order of hundreds of
billions of years, that its radioactivity presents absolutely no threat under all medical and
other ordinary purposes.
• DECOMPOSITION
Bismuth subsalicyclate is the only active ingredient in an over the counter medication that will
actually leave a shiny metal slag behind.
20. EXPERIMENT
OBJECTIVE :

hydrochloric acid,
phenolphthalein.
PROCEDURE :
1) Prepare 1 litre of approximately N/10 HCl solution by
diluting 10 ml of the concentrated acid for one litre.
2) Similarly, make 1 litre of approximately N/10 NaOH
solution by dissolving 4.0g of NaOH to prepare one
litre of solution.
3) Prepare N/10 Na2CO3 solution by weighing exactly
1.325 g of anhydrous sodium carbonate and then
dissolving it in water to prepare exactly 0.25 litres
(250 ml) of solution.
4) Standardize the HCl solution by titrating it against
the standard Na2CO3 solution using methyl orange as
indicator.
5) Similarly, standardize NaOH solution by titrating it
against standardized HCl solution using
phenolphthalein as indicator.
6) Powder the various samples of antacid tablets and
weigh 1.0 g of each.
7) Add a specific volume of standardized HCl to each of
the weighed sample is taken in conical flasks. The
acid should be in slight excess, so that it can
neutralize all the alkaline component of the tablet.
8) Add 2 drops of phenolphthalein and warm the flask
till most of powder dissolves. Filter off the insoluble
material.
9) Titrate this solution against the standardized NaOH
solution, till a permanent pinkish tinge is obtained.
Repeat this experiment with different antacids.

25. PRECAUTIONS
ANTACIDS (FOR EXAMPLE, CALCIUM CARBONATE) WHEN CONSUMED IN HIGH
DOSES AND FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME MAY CAUSE ACID REBOUND. ACID
REBOUND IS A CONDITION IN WHICH THE STOMACH PRODUCES EVEN MORE ACID
AFTER THE CONSUMPTION OF FOODS AND DRINKS. FORTUNATELY, THE
EFFECTS OF ACID REBOUND ARE NOT CLINICALLY IMPORTANT.
HIGH-DOSE CALCIUM CARBONATE AND SODIUM BICARBONATE WHEN TAKEN
TOGETHER CAN CAUSE A CONDITION CALLED MILK-ALKALI SYNDROME. ITS
SYMPTOMS INCLUDE HEADACHE, NAUSEA, IRRITABILITY, AND WEAKNESS,
HYPERCALCEMIA (HIGH BLOOD CALCIUM LEVELS), AND REDUCED FUNCTION OF
THE KIDNEYS.
EXTENSIVE USE OF ALUMINUM-CONTAINING ANTACIDS MAY CAUSE
HYPOPHOSPHATEMIA (LOW PHOSPHATE LEVELS IN THE BLOOD), WHICH IN
SEVERE CASES COULD LEAD TO MUSCLE WEAKNESS, ANOREXIA, AND
OSTEOMALACIA (SOFTENING OF THE BONES DUE TO DEFECTIVE BONE
MINERALIZATION).
ANTACIDS CONTAINING ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE SHOULD BE USED WITH CAUTION
IN PATIENTS WHO HAVE RECENTLY SUFFERED MASSIVE UPPER
GASTROINTESTINAL BLEEDING.
FOR PATIENTS WITH CONDITIONS SUCH AS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, CHRONIC
HEART FAILURE, RENAL FAILURE AND THOSE WHO HAVE SODIUM OR SALT-
RESTRICTED DIETS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE SODIUM
LEVEL IN SODIUM-BASED ANTACID PREPARATIONS SUCH AS SODIUM
BICARBONATE
ANTACIDS SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN TO CHILDREN UNDER SIX YEARS OF AGE.
