Phosphalugel® is an oral antacid and gastrointestinal protective gel containing aluminum phosphate. It is used to help relieve symptoms related to excess stomach acid, including heartburn and acid reflux, while also helping protect the gastric mucosa.

The gel forms a protective coating on the stomach lining and helps neutralize excess acidity without causing significant rebound acid production.
