Description
GAVISCONPRO MINT, oral suspension in sachet-dose belongs to a group of medicines called "anti-reflux".
Reflux is a process by which acidic stomach fluid backs up into the esophagus. Unlike the stomach, the wall of the esophagus does not resist acidity, which is why reflux is the cause of pain and discomfort felt like burns.
GAVISCONPRO MINT, oral suspension in a sachet-dose forms a protective layer which floats above the contents of the stomach. This layer prevents reflux and keeps stomach contents away from the esophageal wall, which relieves heartburn and acid regurgitation. They can appear during pregnancy or during hiatal hernia. They can get worse if you have a fatty or very spicy diet. If you drink too much alcohol, if you smoke, if you wear tight clothes, if you are overweight or when you bend over or lie down.
