INSTARAFT SYP 100ML

About

Instaraft Syrup is an innovative reflux suppressant, primarily utilizing an alginate-based mechanism, often combined with traditional antacids like sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate. Upon contact with stomach acid, the alginate component rapidly forms a robust, viscous raft that floats atop the gastric contents. This physical barrier effectively prevents the reflux of acid, pepsin, and bile into the esophagus, offering immediate and sustained protection. Concurrently, the antacid ingredients provide rapid neutralization of existing stomach acid, delivering prompt relief from the burning sensation of heartburn and indigestion. This dual-action approach makes Instaraft Syrup highly effective in managing the symptomatic manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other acid-related upper digestive discomforts.
