Gastric acid binding chewing pastilles
First Claim
1. Gum pastilles prepared by dissolving in water at least partially or completely water soluble natural and/or synthetic polymers selected from the group consisting of gums, alginates, carrageen, starch, and pectin, which polymers are hydrocolloids and form gels or viscous solutions in aqueous systems, and additional adjuvants and additives, and dissolving, emulsifying, or suspending antacids into the resulting solution such that said antacids are homogeneously distributed in the pastille, said antacids having an acid binding capacity of from 10 to 40 mval per unit dose wherein the pastilles comprise from 2 to 80% by weight of the polymers based on the total mass of the pastilles.
