Aluminum-magnesium silicate
(AMS) has been in use as medicine but this is the first time it is being used
as antiviral medicine. This is also the first time it is being produced from
reaction of other medicinal minerals.
AMS is also used as
stabilizing agent but that stabilizing active drugs with it leads to enhanced
efficacies has not been previously reported. Enhancing efficacies of
antimicrobials means that incidences of drug resistant-infections would reduce.
Doses of drugs, needed to achieve desired effects would also reduce.
So, cost of producing
drug-formulations would reduce too and drugs' side effects, minimized. When
side effects of drugs are minimized, immune responses of patients would
enhance. By mopping abnormal cells AMS also has potentials as anticancer
medicine.
The book, The Medicinal
synthetic Aluminum-magnesium silicate {Al2Mg3(SiO4)3}, is written to inform
professionals in medical sciences, patients and all interested people, of new
uses of AMS, so that they can make better use of the versatile pharmaceutical
ingredient.
