    Gastrocote has a dual action formula that contains a combination of antacids and an alginate to soothe and relieve both heartburn and indigestion. Both have different yet effective effects on the GI tract, the gastrointestinal tract. The alginate forms a raft that reduces the reflux of stomach acid into the oesophagus. The raft also coats the lining of the oesophagus, protecting it from the stomach acid. Antacids neutralise the stomach acids.

    An effective solution to these problematic conditions; Gastrocote treats a range of symptoms associated with excess stomach acid including:
    • Heartburn - A burning sensation in the chest or throat area when stomach acid escapes.
    • Heartburn in pregnancy - Common in pregnant women.
    • Reflux oesophagitis - Inflammation of the oesophagus lining due to irritation from stomach acid.
    • Gastric reflux or regurgitation - A bitter or sour taste in the mouth.
    • Acid indigestion - Any pain of discomfort in the stomach area, accompanied by bloating, belching or nausea due to excess stomach acid.
    Please note: While pains in the chest are usually due to heartburn and indigestion, they could also be a symptom of something more serious, such as heart problems. If in doubt, please seek medical advice and contact your local pharmacist/GP.
