Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Relzer is a combined preparation with antacid and flatulence-reducing action. It neutralizes free hydrochloric (hydrochloric) acid in the stomach, thereby reducing the activity of pepsin. It has an enveloping and adsorbing effect, reduces gas formation in the intestines. Reduces the influence of damaging factors on the gastric mucosa, accelerates the healing of duodenal and gastric ulcers. Does not cause secondary hypersecretion of gastric juice.
The extract of licorice roots, which is part of Relzer, has antispasmodic activity, and also enhances the protective effect of other components on the gastric mucosa: it promotes the regeneration of mucous cells, improves the quantity and quality of mucus.
Simethicone helps to reduce gas production in the intestine.
