Gavilac (Anised) Suspension is a flavored oral liquid formulation containing Sodium Alginate, Sodium Bicarbonate, and Calcium Carbonate. It is specially designed to provide rapid and effective relief from acid reflux, heartburn, and indigestion. The aniseed flavor improves palatability, making it easier to consume, especially for patients who prefer liquid medications. This suspension forms a protective barrier in the stomach, preventing acid from rising into the esophagus.

Composition

Each 10 ml suspension contains:

Mechanism of Action

This combination works through a unique and effective mechanism:

• Sodium Alginate reacts with gastric acid to form a thick gel-like “raft” that floats on the stomach contents, creating a barrier against acid reflux.
