Maalox Plus tablets

Maalox is a globally recognized brand of antacid medications used primarily for the relief of heartburn, acid indigestion, and stomach upset. The name itself is derived from the active ingredients typically found in its original formulations: magnesium and aluminum hydroxides. Originally developed in the United States by William H. Rorer, Inc. in the mid-20th century, the brand has since evolved through various pharmaceutical mergers and acquisitions. Today, the brand is owned by the French multinational pharmaceutical company Sanofi.

Manufacturing of Maalox products occurs in various certified pharmaceutical facilities across Europe and North America to meet regional regulatory standards. In Italy, where this specific packaging (Maalox Plus) is frequently found, the product is directly managed by Sanofi's local subsidiary. Over the decades, Maalox has expanded its product line to include various formats such as chewable tablets, liquids, and extra-strength variations, maintaining its position as a staple in the over-the-counter gastrointestinal medicine market.
