Descriptive sheet ZENTIVA
Acidity and Reflux
HEARTBURNING AND PAIN
Description
Medical device in the form of chewable tablets, mainly characterized by the combination of 3 elements: calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide and simethicone.
Once in the gastroesophageal lumen, the product neutralizes the pH of gastric juices and acid vapors, providing a protective and soothing effect on the gastroesophageal mucosa. This allows ZENTIVA ACIDITY AND REFLUX to act rapidly against pain and heartburn caused by hyperacidity. The presence of simethicone, a substance that reduces the surface tension of gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating their expulsion, reduces the sensation of bloating and abdominal distension.
Indicated in the treatment of heartburn and stomach pain caused by excess acidity and in the treatment of symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux.
The product is also useful in case of digestive difficulties, heartburn and heaviness (symptoms associated with dyspepsia).
Pleasant chamomile flavor.
