Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does Almacone Double Strength work so quickly?
Because it is a liquid suspension, the active ingredients coat the esophagus and begin neutralizing stomach acid immediately upon contact, providing faster relief than many chewable tablets.
Is this the same as "Mylanta Extra Strength"?
Yes, it is a generic equivalent designed to compare to the active ingredients found in Mylanta® Maximum Strength (formerly referred to as Extra Strength).
Does this product contain alcohol?
The lemon flavoring contains a very small amount of alcohol (0.5%). This is common in many liquid oral suspensions to maintain flavor stability.
