4. Mechanism of Action
is a unique combination of –
4
Sodium Alginate
• Reacts with acid to form a viscous layer of Alginate, on top of
the stomach content, which exerts anti-reflux action.
Sodium Bicarbonate
• Neutralizes gastric acid & forms Carbon dioxide, which gets trapped
into the viscous gel of Alginate & floats it to the surface of stomach
content.
Calcium Carbonate
• Neutralizes gastric acid & links with Alginate to strengthen protective
raft or barrier on top of the stomach contents, which ensures
stronger & prolong effect.
