Abicon Chewable Tablet is an antacid and reflux-relief medication that contains a combination of Sodium Alginate and Potassium Bicarbonate. It is commonly used to relieve symptoms associated with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, acid reflux, and heartburn. The chewable formulation makes it convenient and fast-acting, providing quick relief from the burning sensation and discomfort caused by excess stomach acid.

This medicine works by forming a protective barrier on top of the stomach contents, preventing acid from flowing back into the esophagus. At the same time, the antacid component helps neutralize excess stomach acid, reducing irritation in the digestive tract. Because of this dual action, Abicon Chewable Tablet is widely used for both occasional heartburn and ongoing reflux symptoms.

Composition

• Sodium Alginate 500 mg

• Potassium Bicarbonate 100 mg

These ingredients work together to provide effective and long-lasting relief from acid reflux and indigestion.

Therapeutic Class

• Antacid

• Gastroprotective agent

Indications

Abicon Chewable Tablet is indicated for the relief of several gastrointestinal conditions, including:

1. Acid reflux and regurgitation.

2. Heartburn after meals or during pregnancy.

3. Symptoms of Indigestion.

4. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and acid-related irritation of the esophagus.

5. Discomfort caused by excessive stomach acid after heavy or spicy meals.

It is often recommended for individuals who experience frequent heartburn or reflux, especially after eating or when lying down.

Mechanism of Action

The active ingredient sodium alginate reacts with gastric acid to form a thick gel or “raft” that floats on the surface of stomach contents. This gel barrier acts as a mechanical shield, preventing acid from rising into the esophagus.

Potassium bicarbonate acts as an antacid by neutralizing hydrochloric acid in the stomach. During this reaction, carbon dioxide is released, which helps the alginate gel float more effectively. Together, these actions reduce acid exposure in the esophagus and relieve symptoms such as burning pain, regurgitation, and irritation.
