About Calcium Carbonate+sodium Alginate+sodium Bicarbonate
Calcium Carbonate+sodium Alginate+sodium Bicarbonate belongs to the class of 'gastrointestinal agents,' primarily used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease, heartburn, and acidity. It helps relieve symptoms of indigestion and gastrointestinal distress. Indigestion is the inability to digest food that is associated with pain and discomfort in the stomach.
Calcium Carbonate+sodium Alginate+sodium Bicarbonate contains Calcium carbonate, Sodium alginate, and Sodium bicarbonate. Calcium carbonate is an antacid that works by decreasing the amount of acid in the stomach. Sodium alginate forms a viscous gel by reacting with stomach acid. This gel floats on the surface of stomach contents and acts as a blockade to reduce the reflux. Sodium bicarbonate is also an antacid and has alkaline pH, which helps in neutralising the acidic pH in the stomach.
Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your medical condition.
