Gaviflux Suspension is an antacid and reflux suppressant formulation containing Sodium Alginate, Sodium Bicarbonate, and Calcium Carbonate. It is used for the relief of heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion. This combination works by forming a protective barrier on top of stomach contents, preventing acid from flowing back into the esophagus.
It provides fast and long-lasting relief from acidity-related discomfort and is commonly used in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
