ALGIDUO SYP 150ML

About

Algiduo Syrup is an oral suspension specifically formulated to provide rapid and effective relief from symptoms of heartburn, acid indigestion, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Its therapeutic action is based on a dual mechanism: it typically combines an alginate component with antacids. The alginate, upon contact with stomach acid, forms a viscous, protective raft that floats on top of the stomach contents. This physical barrier effectively prevents the reflux of acid, pepsin, and bile into the esophagus, thereby protecting the esophageal lining from irritation and damage.

Concurrently, the antacid components, such as aluminum hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide, work by neutralizing excess stomach acid, providing immediate symptomatic relief. This synergistic approach ensures both rapid acid neutralization and sustained protection against reflux, making it highly effective in managing the discomfort associated with acid-related digestive issues.
