Gaviscon forte, mint suspension 150 ml

Geviscon is an antacid.

Pharmacodynamics

When taken orally Gaviscon quickly reacts with the acidic contents of the stomach. This forms an alginate gel that prevents the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux. In regurgitation, the gel is more likely than the stomach contents to enter the esophagus, where it reduces mucosal irritation.

Pharmacokinetics

The mechanism of action of Gaviscon is independent of absorption into the systemic bloodstream.
