DIGERAFT SUSP 150

About

Digeraft Suspension is a liquid formulation typically containing antacids and an alginate component, designed to provide rapid and effective relief from symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and indigestion. The antacid ingredients, such as aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, work by neutralizing excess stomach acid, thereby reducing heartburn and discomfort. This immediate acid neutralization helps to alleviate the burning sensation in the chest and throat.

The alginate component, often sodium alginate, forms a protective raft on top of the stomach contents when it comes into contact with gastric acid. This physical barrier helps to prevent the reflux of acid, pepsin, and bile into the esophagus, offering sustained relief and protecting the esophageal lining from irritation. This dual mechanism of action makes Digeraft Suspension particularly effective for symptoms like heartburn, acid regurgitation, and dyspepsia, providing both immediate acid neutralization and a lasting protective effect.
