Pharmacology

Moc Therapy Group: Other drugs for treating gastrointestinal ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease - esophagus. The drug combines 2 antacidants (calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate) and alginate.

After taken, the drug reacts quickly to stomach acid to form a alginic acid gel that has a near neutral pH and floating above the substances in the stomach effectively obstructs gastroesophageal reflux (until 4 hours). In severe cases, the gel layer can reflux into the esophagus, rather than the substances in the stomach and create a soothing effect. Calcium carbonate neutralizes stomach acid to quickly soothe indigestion and heartburn. This impact is increased with the presence of sodium bicarbonate, which also has a neutral effect. The total neutralization of the product at the lowest (2 tablets) is about 10 meqh+.

Gaviscon reduces symptoms within 5 minutes to 74% of patients. Gaviscon reduces heartburn by 84% of patients. Gaviscon reduces heartburn until 4 hours.
