Alopacid Capsules is a proprietary Ayurvedic medicine manufactured by ALOPA  HERBAL pharmaceuticals, Bhuvanagiri, Bangalore. Alopacid is a balanced herbal antacid.

GASTRO-INTESTINAL DISORDERS is mainly due to imbalance in the GI mucosa, which is protected by several defense mechanisms: Mucosal production of mucus and HCO3 creates a pH gradient from the gastric lumen with low pH to the mucosa with neutral pH.

The mucus serves as a barrier for diffusion of acid and pepsin. Epithelial cells remove excess hydrogen ions (H+) via membrane transport systems and prevent back diffusion of hydrogen ions. Mucosal blood flow removes excess acid that has diffused across the epithelial layer. Prostaglandins also help in maintenance of normal mucosal integrity. If there is any imbalance it leads to GI disorders like heartburn, hyperacidity, acid eructation's, oesophagitis and gastritis., ALOPACID a balanced herbal antacid, normalizes the acidity.
