Gelid Tablet

Generic

Indications

This medication is used to treat symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux, such as acid regurgitation, heartburn, and indigestion (all of which are related to reflux), such as after meals or during pregnancy, or in patients with symptoms of reflux esophagitis.

Pharmacology

When this preparation comes into contact with stomach acid, it forms a raft (thick layer) on top of the stomach contents. The raft acts as a physical barrier, keeping all of the stomach contents in the stomach where they belong, rather than allowing them to seep back up into the esophagus, where they cause pain.
