DESCRIPTION
Round, 16 mm, pinkish, mottled uncoated tablet with peppermint
flavour, bevel-edged and flat faces.
COMPOSITION
Each tablet contains Sodium Alginate 250 mg, Sodium Bicarbonate 106.5
mg and Calcium Carbonate 187.5 mg.
ACTIONS AND PHARMACOLOGY
The medicinal product is a combination of two antacids (calcium
carbonate and sodium bicarbonate) and an alginate.
On ingestion, the medicinal product reacts rapidly with gastric acid
to form a raft of alginic acid gel having a near neutral pH and which
floats on the stomach contents effectively impeding gastro-oesophageal
reflux. In severe cases the raft itself may be refluxed into the
oesophagus, in preference to the stomach contents, and exert a
demulcent effect.
Calcium carbonate neutralises gastric acid to provide fast relief from
indigestion and heartburn. This effect is increased by the addition
of sodium bicarbonate which also has a neutralising action. The total
neutralising capacity of the product at the lowest dose of two
tablets is approximately 10 mEqH+.
PHARMACOKINETICS
The mode of action of the medicinal product is physical and does not
depend on absorption into the systemic circulation.
INDICATIONS
Treatment of acid related symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux such
as acid regurgitation, heartburn and indigestion, for example
following meals or during pregnancy.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
This medicinal product is contraindicated in patients with known or
suspected hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the
excipients.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION
Studies did not show any significant adverse effects of Gascon Double
Action Chewable Tablet on the course of pregnancy or on the
health of the foetus/new-born child. Based on this and previous
experience, the medicinal product may be used during pregnancy and
lactation. Nevertheless, taking into account the presence of calcium
carbonate it is recommended to limit the treatment duration as
much as possible.
PRECAUTIONS
