Searching for a stronger antacid in Hurghada that actually blocks reflux? Gaviscon Advance Liquid uses an advanced sodium alginate formula to form a physical “raft” barrier on your stomach contents, providing relief that works faster and lasts longer than standard antacids. Ideal for heartburn, acid indigestion, and safe for use during pregnancy.
What is Gaviscon Advance Liquid & How Does It Work?
Gaviscon Advance is a liquid antacid suspension containing Sodium Alginate. Unlike regular antacids that simply neutralize acid, it employs a unique dual-action “raft” mechanism for superior relief.
The Alginate Raft Mechanism:
Forms a Protective Barrier: Upon reaching the stomach, the sodium alginate (derived from seaweed) reacts with gastric acid.
Creates a Floating “Raft”: It forms a thick, gel-like layer that floats on top of the stomach contents.
Blocks Acid Reflux: This raft acts as a physical barrier, preventing stomach acid and gas from flowing back up into the esophagus (the tube to your stomach), which is the direct cause of heartburn pain.
Key Benefits & Uses
Targeted & Fast-Acting: Provides rapid relief from the discomfort of heartburn, acid reflux (GERD), and acid indigestion.
Long-Lasting Protection: The alginate raft provides a sustained barrier for extended relief after meals and during sleep.
Pregnancy-Safe Formula: Generally recognized as safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding when used as directed. (Always consult your doctor).
Convenient Liquid Form: The 150ml liquid suspension is easy to take and allows the formula to coat effectively.
