Gaviscon Gaviscon is a non-prescription medicine, which is taken orally to treat heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Gaviscon U.S. home page )〕 Gaviscon is available as a solid, syrup or tablet. It is produced and distributed in the UK, Ireland, Australia, India and Malaysia by Reckitt Benckiser,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Gaviscon U.K. home page )〕 in the US by GlaxoSmithKline and in Canada by Prestige Brands.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Gaviscon )〕 The formulation of Gaviscon varies by manufacturer. The three active ingredients in Reckitt Benckiser's version are sodium alginate, a bicarbonate (either sodium or potassium in variants) and an antacid (calcium carbonate).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.gaviscon.co.uk/gaviscon_product_range/gaviscon_original.php )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.gaviscon.com.au/ )〕 The GlaxoSmithKline variant lists only antacids as its active ingredients (aluminum hydroxide and either magnesium carbonate or magnesium trisilicate). Alginic acid and sodium bicarbonate are listed as inactive ingredients.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.gaviscon.com/how-gaviscon-works/antacid-products )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=7f367927-c366-465c-a059-e2cfb337d562 )〕 The combination of alginic acid and a bicarbonate forms a layer on the contents of the stomach, which prevents stomach acid from refluxing up into the esophagus. If reflux does occur the protective barrier is the first to contact the esophageal mucosa, instead of gastric contents.〔(【引用サイトリンク】National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse "> Heartburn, Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER), and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)', Foaming agents )〕 Gaviscon infant, for children of 1 year and older, contains only the gelling agents sodium alginate and magnesium alginate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Gaviscon AU Infant page )〕 It helps stabilize the child's stomach contents to reduce reflux and regurgitation, but it is not an antacid.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Gaviscon Infant )〕 ==References==
