Description

It is used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux .

GERD is usually caused by a malfunction of the cardia, the muscle at the junction of the esophagus and stomach, which prevents stomach contents from going up into the esophagus. But other reasons may explain GERD:

  • excessive pressure in the stomach (this occurs especially in the event of obesity or pregnancy);
  • overproduction of stomach juices;
  • poor stomach position (hiatal hernia);
  • a sensitivity of the cells of the esophagus.

Composition

  • Sodium alginate 5.00 g, sodium bicarbonate 2.67 g per 100 ml of oral suspension.
  • Excipients: calcium carbonate, carbomer (974 P), sodium saccharin, fennel flavor (fennel anethole, benzyl alcohol), sodium hydroxide, erythrosine (E 127), purified water. Preservatives: methyl parahydroxybenzoate (E 218) and propyl parahydroxybenzoate (E 216).
  • Excipients with known effect: sodium salts, methyl parahydroxybenzoate (E 218) and propyl parahydroxybenzoate (E 216).
