Fifteen children with gastro-esophageal reflux took part in a treatment trial with a regimen of magnesium hydroxide and aluminium hydroxide for 8 weeks period (700 mmol/1.73 mq/die). All children were evaluated clinically and underwent a 24-hour continuous esophageal pH-monitoring both at diagnosis and after 8 weeks of treatment. After therapy 12/15 children were cured and 3/15 improved. Moreover the total percentage of time during which pH was less than 4, the number of reflux episodes and the number of refluxes lasting than 5' recorded during 24-hour continuous esophageal pH-monitoring were significantly reduced after treatment. The Authors conclude that antacids in large quantities are effective in medical treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux.
