Gavinium Oral Suspension for Acid Reflux and Heartburn, 12 Sachets, Mint Flavor

Why choose Gavinium in drinkable sachets?

Excess stomach acid—triggered by a heavy meal, stress, pregnancy, or smoking—causes a sour taste and painful heartburn that rises up the throat.

Gavinium in sachets acts like a liquid gastric bandage:

• Mechanical anti-reflux action: Sodium alginate reacts with gastric fluid to form a light, viscous gel barrier that floats on top of the stomach contents, physically preventing acid reflux.
• Neutralizing action: Sodium bicarbonate immediately neutralizes excess acidity to relieve epigastric pain.

Ready to use and packaged in individual sachets, it’s easy to carry for quick relief without water as soon as symptoms appear.

Key Benefits and Properties

• Rapid & Long-Lasting Relief: Immediately soothes the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux.
• Physical Protection of the Esophagus: creates a viscous barrier that prevents irritation of the mucous membrane caused by stomach acid.
• On-the-Go Sachet Format: individual 10-ml single-dose sachets that are easy to take anywhere, without adding water.
• Refreshing Mint Flavor: a pleasant taste that provides an immediate, soothing sensation of freshness.

Indications

This gastroenterological medication is recommended for the symptomatic treatment of disorders related to gastric acidity:

• Heartburn (pyrosis) and acid reflux.
• Acid reflux and regurgitation after meals.
• Heartburn associated with pregnancy or digestive difficulties.

What is the difference between Gavinium sachets and Gavinium chewable tablets?

Both forms contain the same active ingredients for antacid and anti-reflux effects. The oral suspension in sachets provides a more immediate coating effect on the esophagus and stomach, making it particularly suitable for people who have difficulty chewing or swallowing tablets.

Can Gavinium sachets be used during pregnancy?

Yes. This medication can be taken during pregnancy and while breastfeeding to relieve frequent acid reflux during the second and third trimesters, provided the recommended dosage is followed. Ask your pharmacist for advice.

When should you take a Gavinium packet to prevent nighttime acid reflux?

To prevent positional acid reflux at night, it is recommended to take 1 packet at bedtime, at least 30 minutes after dinner.
