متن کاملComparison of seven Oxethazaine containing antacids available in the Indian market.
OBJECTIVE This in-vitro study was designed to measure the quantity of acid neutralized by a suspension of a commercial antacid available in Indian markets at a labeled dose and to test the concept of the relative effectiveness of 7 different commercial antacids containing Oxethazaine. METHODS A simple back titration methodology was used to determine the acid neutralization capacity (ANC) of a...
