Pharmacotherapeutic group: Other drugs for peptic ulcer and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD);
ATC Code: A02BX
On ingestion Acidex Oral Suspension reacts 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.
The mode of action of Acidex Oral Suspension is physical and does not depend on absorption into the systemic circulation.
No preclinical findings relevant to the prescriber have been reported.
