The drug GAVISCON contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Alginic acid
UNII C269C4G2ZQ - SODIUM ALGINATE
|
|
Alginic acid is a polysaccharide distributed widely in the cell walls of brown algae which is hydrophilic and forms a viscous gum when hydrated. Its salts with metals such as sodium and calcium are known as alginates. It is a significant component of the biofilms produced by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a major pathogen found in the lungs of some people who have cystic fibrosis. The biofilm and P. aeruginosa have a high resistance to antibiotics and are susceptible to inhibition by macrophages. |
|
2
Sodium bicarbonate
UNII 8MDF5V39QO - SODIUM BICARBONATE
|
|
Sodium bicarbonate has antacid properties. Sodium bicarbonate causes neutralisation of gastric acid with the production of carbon dioxide. |
|
3
Calcium carbonate
UNII H0G9379FGK - CALCIUM CARBONATE
|
|
Calcium carbonate releases, in a pH-dependent manner, calcium ions in the stomach. Calcium carbonate is widely used as antacid and extensively used as a dietary supplement. |
