Aluminum Hydrox Gel Concentrate

Description

Aluminum Hydroxide Gel Concentrate is a sugar-free, mint-flavored oral suspension containing 320 mg of aluminum hydroxide per 5 mL. It is commonly recommended by veterinarians as a phosphorus binder for dogs and cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to help reduce dietary phosphorus absorption. It may also be used to help relieve gastric discomfort associated with excess stomach acid when directed by a veterinarian.

This palatable gel is easy to administer directly or mixed with food, making it a convenient option for pets requiring long-term phosphorus management or gastrointestinal support. Because dosing varies depending on your pet's condition and phosphorus levels, it should only be used under veterinary supervision.

Uses & Benefits

• Helps bind dietary phosphorus in pets with chronic kidney disease
• Supports management of elevated blood phosphorus levels
• May help relieve acid indigestion and gastric discomfort
• Sugar-free formula
• Mint-flavored for improved palatability
• Easy-to-administer oral gel
• Suitable for dogs and cats when prescribed by a veterinarian

How It Works

Aluminum hydroxide binds to phosphorus present in food within the digestive tract, forming compounds that are eliminated in the feces instead of being absorbed into the bloodstream. By reducing phosphorus absorption, it helps support kidney health in pets with chronic kidney disease. It also acts as an antacid by neutralizing excess stomach acid, helping relieve gastric irritation.

Indications

For veterinary use as directed for:

• Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
• Elevated phosphorus levels (hyperphosphatemia)
• Dietary phosphorus binding
• Acid indigestion
• Gastric ulcer support
