When diluted antacid suspensions containing aluminum hydroxide (Amphogel and Wingel) were incubated with bilestained gastric contents or human "Ttube" bile, bile salts and bilirubin were removed from the supernatant fluid. The maximum efficiency of this process in vitro is between pH 4 and 6.5.
On the basis of animal studies, a rise in intragastric pH and reduction in bile salt concentration should reduce injury to the gastric mucosa.
To evaluate the treatment of "bile reflux gastritis" in patients, clinical studies should include these mixtures containing aluminum hydroxide.
