ACCID-O

ACCID-O Suspension 

Product: ACCID-O Suspension
Dosage form: Oral suspension
Pack size: 170 mL
Active ingredients stated on the label:

1. Dried Aluminium Hydroxide

2. Magnesium Hydroxide

3. Oxetacaine (Oxethazaine)

The combination is essentially an antacid + local anaesthetic preparation.

1. Dried Aluminium Hydroxide

Drug class

Antacid

Mechanism of action

Aluminium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) present in the stomach.

Simplified reaction:

Al(OH)₃ + HCl → aluminium salts + water

This reduces the amount of free acid in the stomach and increases gastric pH.

What it helps with

It can relieve symptoms associated with excess gastric acid, including:

• Heartburn

• Acid indigestion

• Sour stomach

• Acid-related epigastric discomfort

• Burning associated with gastric acidity

Important adverse effect

Aluminium-containing antacids commonly tend toward:

→ Constipation

With prolonged or excessive use, aluminium accumulation can be a concern, particularly in people with significantly impaired kidney function.

2. Magnesium Hydroxide

Drug class

Antacid

Magnesium hydroxide also neutralizes gastric hydrochloric acid.

Simplified reaction:

Mg(OH)₂ + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + 2H₂O

This decreases gastric acidity and helps relieve heartburn and acid indigestion.

Important adverse effect

Magnesium hydroxide can have a laxative effect.

Therefore, excessive amounts may cause:

• Loose stools

• Diarrhea

• Abdominal cramping

Why combine magnesium and aluminium?

This is an important feature of the formulation.

Generally:

Aluminium hydroxide → tends toward constipation

Magnesium hydroxide → tends toward diarrhea/laxation

Using the two together can provide effective acid neutralization while helping to balance their respective gastrointestinal effects.

3. Oxetacaine (Oxethazaine)

Drug class

Local anaesthetic

This ingredient is different from the two antacids.

The antacids primarily reduce the acid, whereas oxetacaine primarily reduces the sensation of pain/burning.

Mechanism

Oxetacaine reduces the generation/transmission of pain signals from sensory nerve endings in the gastrointestinal mucosa.

Consequently, it can provide symptomatic relief from:

• Burning sensation

• Pain associated with acid irritation

• Painful dyspeptic symptoms

• Acid-related discomfort

So the formulation has a useful combination:

Acid → neutralized by aluminium hydroxide + magnesium hydroxide

Pain/burning → locally relieved by oxetacaine

How the three ingredients work together

You can think of ACCID-O as having two major therapeutic actions:

A. Acid neutralization

Aluminium hydroxide + Magnesium hydroxide

↓

Neutralize gastric HCl

↓

Increase gastric pH

↓

Reduce acid irritation

↓

Relief of heartburn/acid indigestion

B. Local pain relief

Oxetacaine

↓

Reduces sensation from irritated gastrointestinal mucosa

↓

Reduces burning and pain
