Aluminum hydroxide neutralizes gastric acidity and increases gastric pH. It binds to intestinal phosphate.

Magnesium hydroxide promotes bowel evacuation by causing osmotic retention of fluid, which causes the colon to distend with increased peristaltic activity; forms magnesium chloride when reacts with hydrochloric acid; causes water retention in stool, producing laxative effect

Alginic acid: Used to encourage adherence of mixture to mucosa.

Dimethicone alters gas bubble surface tension hence disperses and prevents gas pockets in the GI system
