Hi mek59,

The product you are looking for is DIOVAL antacid.  Depending on where
you live, you may or may not be able buy it locally.

Dioval is a Canadian product made by the company Carter Horner. 

“For more than 50 years, physicians have recommended DIOVOL antacid to
help Canadians get relief from heartburn, acid indigestion and gas.”

Here is a list of all of the Dioval products -

This common product is available over the counter in Canada at most
pharmacies and discount stores such as Wal-Mart or Zellers.

In the US the drug was turned down for FDA approval in 2001 and
therefore is not available for purchase there.

I searched all of the Canadian online pharmacies, but they primarily
focus on prescription drugs.

But, I did find one online pharmacy that carries Diovol and who will
ship non-prescription drugs to the US and overseas.

Diovol

So that should get you what you need, whether you are located within
or outside of Canada. If anything I’ve said isn’t clear, feel free to
ask for a clarification.

Search Strategy:

First I searched for your term, Dioyal, but had no luck. I then went
to Medline and did an alphabetical search here:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/uspdi/202047.html

After I had the name, I searched it online via Google. 

Also searched: Canadian online pharmacies

Hi again mek59,

I just realized, as I re-read my answer, that I was inconsistent in my
spelling of the product. It is: DIOVOL

Sorry about that. I hope it didn't cause too much confusion. 

-K~

As I am glad that you picked up in your response Dioval is an estrogen
and Diovol is an antacid combination of aluminum OH and magnesium OH.
