The mode of action of the product is physical and does not depend on absorption into the systemic circulation. On ingestion the product reacts rapidly with gastric acid to form a raft of Alginic acid gel having a near neutral pH and which floats on the stomach contents, quickly and effectively impeding gastro-esophageal reflux, for up to 4 hours. In severe cases the raft itself may be refluxed into the esophagus, in preference to the stomach contents, and exert a demulcent effect.
For oral administration:
Adult and children over 12 years:10-20 mL after meals and at bedtime, up to four times a day.
Children 6 to 12 years: 5-10 mL after meals and at bedtime, up to four times a day.
Children under 6 years: Not recommended.

Pregnancy: Clinical studies in more than 500 pregnant women as well as a large amount of data from post-marketing experience indicate no malformative nor feto/neonatal toxicity of the active substances. This drug can be used during pregnancy, if clinically needed.
Breast feeding: No effects of the active substances have been shown in breastfed newborns/infants of treated mothers. This drug can be used during breast-feeding.
Fertility: Pre-clinical investigations have revealed alginate has no negative effect on parental or offspring fertility or reproduction. Clinical data do not suggest that this drug has an effect on human fertility.
If symptoms do not improve after seven days, the clinical situation should be reviewed. Each 10 ml dose has a sodium content of 141 mg (6.2 mmol). This should be taken into account when a highly restricted salt diet is recommended. e.g. in some cases of congestive cardiac failure and renal impairment. Each 10 ml dose contains 160 mg (1.6 mmol) of calcium carbonate. Care needs to be taken in treating patients with hypercalcaemia, nephrocalcinosis and recurrent calcium containing renal calculi.
