Pharmacotherapeutic group: other medicinal products for peptic ulcer and gastroesophageal reflux (G.R.O)., ATC code: A02BX.

• its lightness allows it to float above gastric content at the gastric junction;

• its viscosity and consistency form a physical barrier that opposes reflux (decrease in reflux number).

In case of severe reflux, the regurgite gel first in the oesophageal and interposes between the oesophageal wall and the irritant gastric fluid;

• its alkaline pH is substitutable to the acid pH of the reflux liquid.

The sodium alginate/sodium bicarbonate administration thus increases the sodium-likeness of the pH II-refected process of the pH-2-fold of the acidic acidity of the acidic acidic acidic acidic acidic acidic acidic acidic acidic acidic acidic acidic acidic acidic acidic acid.

Adverse reactions are classified by frequency, using the following convention: very common (≥ 1/10), common (≥ 1/100, < 1/10), uncommon (≥ 1/1,000, < 1/100), rare (≥ 1/10,000, < 1/1,000), very rare (< 1/10,000), not known (cannot be estimated from the available data).
