One hundred healthy volunteers recorded their subjective impressions of taste, mouth feel, after-taste and preference, after receiving in turn two tablets of each of four commonly-used antacids. The subjects remained unaware of the appearance of name of the products. The orange flavoured tablets, Asilone Orange, were shown to have a more acceptable taste, mouth feel and after-taste than three other commonly used antacids, Gaviscon, Altacite Plus, and Aluminium Hydroxide B.P., and these differences were highly significant (P less than 0.0001). Furthermore, 93% of cases expressed a willingness to take the orange flavoured tablets again, on a long term basis if necessary.
100名健康志愿者在依次服用四种常用抗酸剂中的每种两片后，记录了他们对味道、口感、余味和偏好的主观感受。受试者对产品的外观和名称并不知情。结果显示，橙色口味的阿西隆橙片在味道、口感和余味方面比其他三种常用抗酸剂（胃仙-U、复方铝酸铋和英国药典氢氧化铝）更易接受，且这些差异具有高度显著性（P小于0.0001）。此外，93%的受试者表示如有必要，愿意长期再次服用橙色口味的片剂。
