Its two active ingredients, sodium alginate and potassium hydrogen carbonate, combine to form a protective layer over the stomach contents, keeping acid away from the food pipe rather than simply neutralising it after the fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis peppermint variant gives the same formulation and dosing as Acidex Advance's Aniseed flavour, so the choice between the two comes down entirely to taste preference.

The potassium hydrogen carbonate releases small bubbles of carbon dioxide within that gel, turning it into a light, foamy raft that floats on top of the stomach's contents. Sitting above the acid and food, this raft acts as a barrier, so if reflux happens, the raft reaches the food pipe first rather than the acid itself, relieving and helping prevent the burning sensation of heartburn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBecause the mechanism is physical rather than systemic, the medicine doesn't need to be absorbed into the bloodstream to take effect, which is also why it's considered suitable for use during pregnancy where clinically needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\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, peppermint 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\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 haven't improved after 7 days, stop use and see your doctor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember.
