Mode of Action
The mode of action of the product is physical and does not depend on absorption into the systemic circulation. On ingestion the product reacts rapidly with gastric acid to form a raft of Alginic acid gel having a near neutral pH and which floats on the stomach contents, quickly and effectively impeding gastro-esophageal reflux, for up to 4 hours. In severe cases the raft itself may be refluxed into the esophagus, in preference to the stomach contents, and exert a demulcent effect.
Precaution
Na-restricted diet. Hypercalcaemia, nephrocalcinosis & recurrent Ca-containing renal calculi. Reduced efficacy w/ very low levels of gastric acid. Antacid use may mask symptoms of internal bleeding secondary to NSAIDs. Childn <12 yr.
Side Effect
Allergic reactions like urticaria or bronchospasm, anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reactions. Ingestion of large quantities may cause alkalosis, hypercalcaemia, acid rebound, milk alkali, syndrome or constipation.
