Product Benefits

Gavistop Oral Suspension provides dual-action relief for symptoms of acid reflux and indigestion through both physical and chemical mechanisms:

• Forms a Protective Barrier (The Raft): The Sodium Alginate reacts rapidly with stomach acid to form a thick, buoyant gel (a "raft") that floats on top of the stomach contents. This raft acts as a physical barrier, effectively impeding gastro-oesophageal reflux (acid from flowing back up into the esophagus) for up to four hours.

• Neutralizes Stomach Acid: The Sodium Bicarbonate and Calcium Carbonate work as traditional antacids to neutralize excess stomach acid, providing fast relief from the pain and discomfort of heartburn and indigestion.

• Soothes the Esophagus: If reflux occurs, the protective alginate raft often refluxes first, exerting a demulcent (soothing) effect on the lining of the esophagus, which is irritated by acid, pepsin, and bile.

• Effective During Pregnancy: It is commonly indicated and considered safe for use in managing heartburn associated with pregnancy, if clinically needed.

• Physical Mode of Action: The primary action of the alginate raft is physical and does not rely on absorption into the systemic circulation, which contributes to its safe profile.

Disclaimer: Gavistop is an over-the-counter medication/medical device, but it should be used as directed. If symptoms persist for more than seven days or if you have specific health conditions (like renal insufficiency or are on a highly restricted salt diet), consult a healthcare professional.
