Product Benefits

• Unique "Raft" Technology: Upon ingestion, the syrup reacts with gastric acid to form a thick, neutral pH gel barrier (raft) that floats on top of stomach contents, physically blocking acid from rising into the esophagus.

• Instant Heartburn Relief: Provides rapid cooling and soothing of the burning sensation in the chest and throat by preventing acid, pepsin, and bile from contacting the sensitive esophageal lining.

• Long-Lasting Protection: One dose of Gelid effectively impedes gastro-oesophageal reflux for up to 4 hours, significantly longer than many traditional liquid antacids.

• Safe for Pregnancy & Lactation: Clinical experience confirms that Gelid can be safely used to manage the common symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux experienced during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

• Non-Systemic Action: Unlike many medications, Gelid works through a physical mechanism and is not absorbed into the bloodstream, reducing the risk of systemic side effects.

• Post-Surgical Support: Highly effective for patients experiencing reflux symptoms following gastric surgery or those suffering from a hiatus hernia.

• Protects the Food Pipe: By creating a demulcent effect, it guards the esophagus against the corrosive effects of stomach acid and digestive enzymes.

• Diabetic Friendly: The suspension is formulated to be suitable for various diets, helping to manage epigastric distress without unnecessary sugar intake.

Dosage & Administration

• Adults and Children (12+ years): 5–10 ml (1–2 teaspoonfuls) 3 to 4 times daily.

• Note: Not recommended for children under 2 years. Children aged 2–12 should only use it under medical advice.

Storage Warning: Store at room temperature (below $30^{\circ}\text{C}$) and keep away from direct light. Do not refrigerate or freeze the suspension, as this can damage the gel-forming properties of the sodium alginate.
