It combines sodium alginate with potassium hydrogen carbonate, which together form a protective raft-like layer over the top of the stomach contents, physically keeping stomach acid away from the lining of the food pipe rather than reducing acid production itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBecause it works by forming a physical barrier rather than being absorbed into the bloodstream, Acidex Advance is suitable for a wider range of situations than some other heartburn treatments, including during pregnancy, for hiatus hernia symptoms, and for heartburn that flares up when starting or stopping acid-reducing medicines like PPIs or H2 antagonists. The aniseed flavour and smooth suspension format also make it a straightforward option for anyone who finds tablets harder to take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical barrier action.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sodium alginate and potassium hydrogen carbonate form a protective raft over the stomach contents rather than working systemically.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroad suitability.\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding, where treatment duration should be kept as short as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTargets multiple reflux-related symptoms.\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for heartburn, acid indigestion, hiatus hernia symptoms, and reflux-related hoarseness, sore throat or cough.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable in 250ml and 500ml.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lets you choose the size that matches how often you expect to need it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAniseed flavoured suspension.\u003c\/strong\u003e An easy-to-take liquid format for anyone who prefers it to tablets\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow Acidex Advance Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAcidex Advance works through a physical mechanism rather than by altering how much acid the stomach produces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhen swallowed, the sodium alginate reacts with stomach acid to form a gel, which traps tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide released by the potassium hydrogen carbonate. This creates a foamy, raft-like layer that floats on top of the stomach contents, sitting above the acid and food. Because this raft stays near the top of the stomach, it forms a physical barrier that keeps acid away from the oesophagus if reflux occurs, relieving and helping prevent the burning sensation of heartburn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is different from antacids that simply neutralise acid already present, or acid reducers like PPIs that lower how much acid the stomach makes. Acidex Advance's physical raft action is also why it doesn't depend on being absorbed into the body to work, which is part of why it's considered suitable for use during pregnancy when clinically needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActive ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sodium alginate 1000mg\/10ml, Potassium hydrogen carbonate 200mg\/10ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOther ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calcium carbonate, carbomer, sodium hydroxide, saccharin sodium, ethyl parahydroxybenzoate (E214), propyl parahydroxybenzoate (E216), butyl parahydroxybenzoate, isopropyl alcohol, star anise oil, purified water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContains parahydroxybenzoates (parabens, E214 and E216),\u003c\/strong\u003e which may rarely cause allergic reactions, sometimes delayed\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003col dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShake the bottle well before use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdults, the elderly and children 12 years and over: take 5 to 10ml (one to two 5ml spoonfuls) after meals and at bedtime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChildren under 12: should only be given this product on medical advice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not exceed the stated dose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf symptoms persist after 7 days, stop use and consult your doctor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember.
