Antacid

Abicon® works by forming a raft (thick layer) on top of the stomach contents soon after it has made contact with the stomach acid. The raft acts a strong physical barrier and helps keep all the components of the stomach contents in the stomach where they work, not letting them seep back up into the esophagus where they hurt.

Treatment of symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux, such as acid regurgitation, heartburn and indigestion (related to reflux), for example, following meals or during pregnancy or in patients with symptoms related to reflux esophagitis.

Abicon® Tablet: Each tablet contains Sodium Alginate USP 500 mg and Potassium Bicarbonate BP 100 mg.
