What it is
This is a liquid antacid designed to provide fast relief from heartburn and indigestion. It works by forming a raft on top of the stomach contents. This raft acts as a physical barrier, helping to prevent stomach acid from rising into the esophagus. The liquid formulation allows for quick dispersal and action, offering a soothing sensation. It is intended for occasional use to manage discomfort associated with excess stomach acid.
