Maalox Reflux Rapide 20 Single-Dose Sachets, Mint

Why choose Maalox Reflux Rapide in single-serve packets?

Heavy meals, lying down, pregnancy, or stress often cause acidic stomach juices to rise into the esophagus, leading to a burning sensation and heartburn. Maalox Reflux Rapide provides a comprehensive and immediate mechanical solution:

1. Immediate anti-reflux barrier action (sodium alginate):

• Upon contact with stomach acid,sodium alginate forms a thick, viscous gel that floats on the surface of the stomach contents, creating a physical “barrier” that physically prevents acid reflux from reaching the esophagus.
• Works in just 3 minutes for fast and long-lasting relief.

2. Acid Neutralization (Carbonates & Bicarbonate):

• Sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate instantly reduce excess stomach acid, which causes heartburn.

3. Protection and Healing of Mucous Membranes (Hyaluronic Acid):

• Hyaluronic acid coats, hydrates, and lubricates the esophageal lining, thereby protecting sensitized tissues from acid damage and helping to prevent the recurrence of irritation.

This treatment for acid reflux is recommended for adults and adolescents aged 12 and older to:

• Treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and acid regurgitation.
• Relieve heartburn and indigestion associated with hyperacidity.
