Heartburn ABC: What Causes Acid Reflux and How to Prevent It

Feb 12, 2025

Introduction

HEARTBURN ABC is a highly effective medication designed to provide relief from acid reflux, heartburn, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This formulation combines Sodium Alginate (250 mg), Sodium Bicarbonate (106.5 mg), and Calcium Carbonate (187.5 mg) to create a protective barrier in the stomach, preventing acid from flowing back into the esophagus.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

Sodium Alginate (250 mg)

  • Derived from natural seaweed extracts, Sodium Alginate reacts with gastric acid to form a gel-like raft that floats on the stomach contents.

  • This barrier prevents stomach acid from rising up the esophagus, effectively reducing symptoms of acid reflux.

Sodium Bicarbonate (106.5 mg)

  • Acts as an antacid by neutralizing excess stomach acid, providing quick relief from heartburn and indigestion.

  • Works synergistically with Sodium Alginate to enhance the effectiveness of the protective raft.

Calcium Carbonate (187.5 mg)

  • Provides an additional antacid effect by neutralizing stomach acid.

  • Supports bone health by acting as a calcium supplement.

  • Helps in reinforcing the protective barrier against acid reflux.

How HEARTBURN ABC Works

  • When ingested, HEARTBURN ABC forms a gel-like protective barrier at the top of the stomach.

  • The combination of Sodium Alginate, Sodium Bicarbonate, and Calcium Carbonate creates a neutralized layer that prevents acid from reaching the esophagus.

  • It provides rapid relief from acid reflux symptoms, reducing the discomfort of heartburn and regurgitation.

Uses of HEARTBURN ABC

  • Relieves acid reflux and heartburn.

  • Helps manage symptoms of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).

  • Alleviates indigestion and dyspepsia.

  • Provides relief from post-meal discomfort and bloating.

Dosage and Administration

  • The typical dosage of HEARTBURN ABC is one to two tablets after meals and before bedtime, or as directed by a healthcare provider.

  • The tablets should be chewed thoroughly before swallowing for optimal effect.

  • It is recommended to avoid lying down immediately after taking the tablet to maximize the protective effect.

Side Effects

Although HEARTBURN ABC is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience:

  • Mild bloating or gas due to the neutralization of stomach acid.

  • Constipation or diarrhea, depending on individual tolerance.

  • Allergic reactions (rare), including skin rashes or difficulty breathing. Seek immediate medical attention if this occurs.

Precautions and Warnings

  • Not recommended for individuals with kidney disease, as excessive Calcium Carbonate intake can lead to kidney stone formation.

  • Patients with hypertension should consult a doctor before use, as Sodium Bicarbonate may increase sodium levels.

  • Avoid excessive use to prevent alkalosis (high pH levels in the body).

  • Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using HEARTBURN ABC.

Drug Interactions

HEARTBURN ABC may interact with:

  • Certain antibiotics (e.g., tetracyclines, quinolones) reducing their absorption.

  • Iron supplements and thyroid medications, affecting their effectiveness.

  • Blood pressure medications, particularly those that influence sodium levels.

  • Always maintain a 2-hour gap between taking HEARTBURN ABC and other medications.

Price and Availability

  • HEARTBURN ABC is available in packs of 10, 20, or 30 tablets.

  • The price varies depending on the retailer, but generally ranges from ₹150-₹400 per pack.

  • It is available over-the-counter (OTC) at pharmacies and online stores.

Conclusion

HEARTBURN ABC is a reliable and effective treatment for acid reflux, heartburn, and GERD. With its unique combination of Sodium Alginate, Sodium Bicarbonate, and Calcium Carbonate, it provides rapid relief and long-lasting protection against stomach acid.

For best results, follow the recommended dosage, maintain a healthy diet, and avoid triggers such as spicy and acidic foods. Always consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen.
