Description of the drug De-Nol
One of the most frequently prescribed remedies for diseases of the stomach and duodenum is De-Nol. This medicine provides additional protection, strengthens the mucous membrane of the digestive organs and enhances its ability to resist internal irritants.
The active substance of the drug, entering the stomach, forms a protective film at the sites of damage. This allows you to eliminate the irritating factor and speed up healing.

Patient reviews
I really like Almagel. Now everyone experiences heartburn. Products that are seemingly healthy will still harm the body. So I’m saving myself with Almagel. We have a large family, so Almagel is a permanent resident of our medicine cabinet. I even give it to children when they have eaten too much candy and chips.

I believe that Almagel has made a splash in the treatment of gastric ulcers. It has virtually no side effects. Directly affects gastric juice - the main catalyst for ulcers and gastritis. Thanks to this, it stands out favorably against other drugs. I have been prescribing it to my patients for over a year now, everyone has been satisfied with the treatment.
