Maalox Reflurapid Oral Suspension 20 Single-Dose Sachets of 10 ml Maalox

RefluRAPID

Description
Mechanical action medical device based on sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate, formulated to perform 3 synergistic actions: block acid reflux, reduce burning and protect the esophageal mucosa. Maalox RefluRAPID medical device is indicated for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux in order to reduce the symptoms related to it, such as: burning, heartburn in pregnancy, reflux esophagitis, acid regurgitation, indigestion, nighttime symptoms from reflux, cough and laryngopharyngeal inflammation.
Thanks to the action of sodium alginate and the carbonates it contains, it can start working in 3 minutes. In contact with stomach acid, sodium alginate reacts by forming a gel while the carbonates release carbon dioxide allowing the gel to float and thus form a plug that mechanically prevents gastric juices from rising towards the esophagus. The presence of bicarbonate also helps reduce stomach hyperacidity. Thanks to its peculiar characteristics, it has a barrier effect that protects the esophageal mucosa from the aggression of acids, promoting its regeneration and helping to prevent the risk of relapses of reflux esophagitis. Its formulation, characterized by a specific balance between sodium alginate and carbonates, promotes rapid action.
