Aluminum Hydroxide
- Antacids: Neutralizes stomach acid to relieve heartburn and indigestion. - Adsorbents: Binds to toxins in the digestive tract to prevent their absorption. - Buffering agents: Maintains constant pH levels in pharmaceutical preparations.
Aluminum Acetaminophen
- Analgesic (pain reliever): Provides temporary relief from minor aches and pains.
Aluminum Potassium Sulfate
- Antiperspirants: Blocks sweat glands to reduce sweating.
Aluminum Phosphates
- Binding agents: Enhances the stability and absorption of drugs by binding them to other molecules. - Excipients: Inactive ingredients used as carriers or fillers in pharmaceutical formulations.
Aluminum Sulfate
- Astringents: Contracts tissues to reduce bleeding and inflammation. - Hemostatics: Stops bleeding by constricting blood vessels.
Aluminum Chlorohydrate
- Antiperspirants: Similar to aluminum potassium sulfate, reduces sweating.
Aluminum Hydroxychloride
- Antipruritics (anti-itch medications): Relieves itching and irritation associated with skin conditions.
Aluminum Monostearate
- Emulsifiers: Helps disperse oil-based ingredients in water-based formulations. - Thickeners: Increases the viscosity of liquids.
Aluminum Oxide
- Antacid: Similar to aluminum hydroxide, neutralizes stomach acid. - Adjuvant: Enhances the immune response to vaccines by providing a surface for antigen binding.
Other Uses
- Adjuvants: Aluminum derivatives can enhance the immune response to vaccines and antibiotics. - Binding agents: They can bind to drugs to control their release and improve absorption. - Excipients: Aluminum derivatives are commonly used as inactive ingredients to provide bulk, flowability, and stability to pharmaceutical products.
