Gastrocon-A Chewable Tablet 500 mg + 100 mg is a fast-acting antacid formulation combining Sodium Alginate and Potassium Bicarbonate, specifically designed to relieve heartburn, acid reflux, and related symptoms of indigestion. This chewable tablet offers convenient, portable, and rapid relief without the need for water, making it suitable for use anytime discomfort occurs.

Sodium Alginate forms a protective, gel-like barrier, or “raft,” on the surface of the stomach contents. This raft prevents gastric acid from flowing back into the esophagus, reducing irritation and discomfort associated with gastroesophageal reflux. Potassium Bicarbonate neutralizes excess stomach acid and releases carbon dioxide, which helps the alginate raft float effectively and enhances its protective action. Together, these two ingredients provide immediate soothing of burning sensations in the chest, sour regurgitation, and upper abdominal discomfort.

Gastrocon-A Chewable Tablet works locally in the stomach, meaning it provides symptomatic relief without systemic absorption, making it a safe and effective option for short-term management of acid-related digestive discomfort.

Indications

Gastrocon-A Chewable Tablet is indicated for:

• Symptomatic relief of heartburn

• Acid regurgitation and gastroesophageal reflux

• Indigestion caused by excessive gastric acidity

• Post-meal discomfort and bloating

• Occasional symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

This tablet is suitable for adults and children as directed by a healthcare professional. It is ideal for patients seeking a convenient, on-the-go option for quick relief.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage should be individualized according to symptom severity and the patient’s needs. Typical administration guidelines include:

• Chew the tablet thoroughly before swallowing

• Take as needed after meals or when symptoms occur

• Do not exceed the recommended daily dose

• If symptoms persist for more than a few days, consult a physician

Chewable tablets provide the advantage of rapid action since the medication is already in a form that facilitates immediate contact with stomach acid.

Precautions and Warnings

• Use cautiously in patients with kidney impairment or those on sodium- or potassium-restricted diets

• Not intended to replace long-term management of chronic acid-related disorders

• If frequent heartburn or acid reflux occurs, seek medical evaluation

• Avoid combining with other medications simultaneously unless advised by a healthcare professional, as spacing may be necessary

Gastrocon-A Chewable Tablet offers temporary symptomatic relief but does not treat the underlying cause of persistent reflux or ulcer disease.
