Sodium Alginate 250 Mg + Calcium Carbonate 80 Mg + Sodium Bicarbonate 133.5 Mg Oral Suspension

Description

Genoraft Suspension is a combination of (Sodium Alginate 250 mg + Calcium Carbonate 800 mg + Sodium Bicarbonate 133.5 mg) forms a protective raft over stomach contents to prevent acid reflux. Sodium alginate reacts with gastric acid to form a viscous gel. Calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate neutralize excess stomach acid. Genoraft Suspension (Sodium Alginate 250 mg + Calcium Carbonate 800 mg + Sodium Bicarbonate 133.5 mg) provides fast and long-lasting relief from heartburn and indigestion.

Indication

1. Heartburn and Acid Reflux Relief : Genoraft Suspension (Sodium Alginate 250 mg + Calcium Carbonate 800 mg + Sodium Bicarbonate 133.5 mg) provides quick and effective relief from burning chest pain, discomfort, and a sensation of fullness caused by stomach acid moving into the esophagus. Genoraft Suspension (Sodium Alginate 250 mg + Calcium Carbonate 800 mg + Sodium Bicarbonate 133.5 mg) is particularly beneficial after eating large meals, spicy or fatty foods, or when bending or lying down. The ingredients help to calm irritation of the esophageal lining, reducing pain and allowing for more comfortable digestion. Genoraft Suspension (Sodium Alginate 250 mg + Calcium Carbonate 800 mg + Sodium Bicarbonate 133.5 mg) helps improve sleep and quality of life in individuals who suffer from frequent reflux symptoms.
 

2. Treatment of GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) : Genoraft Suspension (Sodium Alginate 250 mg + Calcium Carbonate 800 mg + Sodium Bicarbonate 133.5 mg) effectively manages chronic symptoms of GERD, including persistent heartburn, acid regurgitation, difficulty swallowing, and chest discomfort. Long-term acid reflux can lead to complications like esophagitis, Barrett’s esophagus, or strictures, which this formulation helps to prevent. By reducing acid exposure, Genoraft Suspension (Sodium Alginate 250 mg + Calcium Carbonate 800 mg + Sodium Bicarbonate 133.5 mg) supports healing of the esophagus and minimizes the risk of further complications.
 

3. Protective Barrier Formation : Sodium alginate interacts with gastric acid to form a thick, gel-like “raft” that floats on top of the stomach contents. Genoraft Suspension (Sodium Alginate 250 mg + Calcium Carbonate 800 mg + Sodium Bicarbonate 133.5 mg) acts as a mechanical barrier, preventing acid and food from traveling back into the esophagus. Genoraft Suspension (Sodium Alginate 250 mg + Calcium Carbonate 800 mg + Sodium Bicarbonate 133.5 mg) provides a non-systemic solution that works directly at the site of the problem.
 

4. Neutralizes Excess Stomach Acid : Calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate react quickly with stomach acid to neutralize it, reducing acidity and relieving symptoms within minutes. Calcium carbonate provides longer-lasting acid neutralization, while sodium bicarbonate offers rapid onset of action. Together, they help restore the natural pH balance in the stomach, support normal digestion, and relieve pressure and bloating. This dual action enhances patient comfort and promotes faster recovery from acid-related symptoms.
 

5. Regurgitation and Sour Taste Control : By preventing the backflow of acid and food, Genoraft Suspension (Sodium Alginate 250 mg + Calcium Carbonate 800 mg + Sodium Bicarbonate 133.5 mg) combination helps alleviate nausea, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, bad breath, hoarseness, and throat irritation. These symptoms are common in acid reflux and can significantly impact eating habits and sleep. The treatment ensures that acid remains in the stomach, where it belongs, thus promoting oral and esophageal health. It is especially helpful for nighttime reflux, which can disturb sleep and cause morning throat discomfort.
 

6. Safe for Use in Special Conditions : Due to its localized action in the gastrointestinal tract and minimal absorption into the bloodstream, this formulation is generally considered safe for pregnant women, nursing mothers, elderly individuals, and people with multiple health conditions. Genoraft Suspension (Sodium Alginate 250 mg + Calcium Carbonate 800 mg + Sodium Bicarbonate 133.5 mg) is often recommended as a first-line treatment during pregnancy-related heartburn, a common issue in the second and third trimesters. However, prolonged or frequent use should always be under the guidance of a healthcare provider to avoid issues like alkalosis or electrolyte imbalance, especially in patients with kidney disease or on salt-restricted diets.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Sodium Alginate : It works by reacting with gastric acid in the stomach to form a thick, gel-like substance known as a "raft." This raft floats on top of the stomach contents and creates a physical barrier between the acidic contents of the stomach and the esophagus. This prevents acid and food from flowing back up (reflux), which is the main cause of heartburn and irritation. The raft remains in place for several hours, especially when the person is lying down or after eating, which are common times for reflux to occur. It does not affect acid production but provides local mechanical protection, making it a safe option for both adults and pregnant women.

Calcium Carbonate : It acts as a potent antacid that quickly neutralizes excess hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach. This action helps to raise the pH level, reducing the acidity and providing rapid relief from symptoms like burning, pain, and indigestion. In addition to its neutralizing effect, calcium carbonate also supplies calcium, which can be beneficial for individuals with calcium deficiency. It has a longer-lasting effect compared to some other antacids and works well in combination with sodium alginate to improve symptom control.

Sodium Bicarbonate : is a fast-acting antacid that also neutralizes gastric acid almost immediately upon contact. During this process, it releases carbon dioxide gas, which plays an important role by helping the alginate-based gel (raft) to rise and float on the surface of the stomach contents. This floating action enhances the effectiveness of the barrier formed by sodium alginate. Sodium bicarbonate provides immediate symptom relief, especially useful during sudden or severe episodes of acid reflux, and contributes to the dual-action benefit of both acid neutralization and reflux prevention.

DRUG INDICATION

Drug-Drug Interaction : Genoraft Suspension (Sodium Alginate 250 mg + Calcium Carbonate 800 mg + Sodium Bicarbonate 133.5 mg) may interact with antibiotics (doxycycline, ciprofloxacin), pain killers (aspirin), blood pressure medicines (mecamylamine), anti-diabetics (chlorpropamide), anti-psychotics (lithium), and diuretics (furosemide, bumetanide, ethacrynic acid).

Drug-Food Interaction : Alcohol consumption makes the stomach produce more acid, which can further lead to heartburn. Therefore, avoid alcohol consumption.

Drug-Disease Interaction : Brief your doctor if you have a medical history of high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, oedema, hypercalcaemia, nephrocalcinosis, liver or kidney problems.

PRECAUTION

Genoraft Suspension (Sodium Alginate 250 mg + Calcium Carbonate 800 mg + Sodium Bicarbonate 133.5 mg) medicine should be used with caution in people with kidney problems, heart disease, or those on a low-sodium diet, as it contains sodium.
