excipients: mannitol 598.799 mg, macrogol-20000 30 mg, copovidone 33.75 mg, acesulfame potassium 5.863 mg, aspartame 5.863 mg, dye azorubin (11012) 0.375 mg, mint flavor 18.75 mg, xylitol (DC) 100 mg, magnesium stearate 6.75-12.6 mg.

pharmachologic effect

This drug is a combination of alginate and antacids (calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate).

When ingested, the active ingredients of GavisconВ® Double Action quickly react with the acidic contents of the stomach. This forms an alginate gel with a pH value close to neutral. The gel forms a protective barrier on the surface of the stomach contents, preventing the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux (reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus). In severe cases of reflux (regurgitation), the gel is thrown into the esophagus ahead of the rest of the gastric contents, where it reduces irritation of the esophageal mucosa.

Calcium carbonate quickly neutralizes the hydrochloric acid in gastric juice, relieving heartburn and indigestion.

This effect is enhanced by the presence of sodium bicarbonate in the preparation, which also has a neutralizing effect.

The total acid-neutralizing activity of the drug in a minimum dose of 2 tablets is approximately 10 mEq.

Pharmacokinetics

Special conditions

In a dose of two tablets, the sodium content is 110.75 mg (4.82 mmol).

This should be taken into account when it is necessary to adhere to a diet with limited salt content, for example, with congestive heart failure and mild renal failure.

Each dose of two tablets contains 150 mg (3.75 mmol) calcium.

Therefore, care should be taken when treating patients with hypercalcemia, nephrocalcinosis, and urolithiasis with the formation of calcium oxalate stones.

Due to the aspartame content, this drug should not be used in patients with phenylketonuria.

GavisconВ® Dual Action contains antacids that can mask the symptoms of serious gastrointestinal diseases.

A decrease in the effectiveness of the drug in patients with low acidity of gastric juice is possible.

In patients with gastroenteritis or suspected renal failure, there is an increased risk of hypernatremia with the drug.

You should not use the drug for a long time, if symptoms persist after 7 days of taking the drug, you should consult a doctor to review therapy.

Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and mechanisms:

The drug does not affect the ability to drive vehicles and mechanisms, as well as to engage in other potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.
