Abicon Suspension is an effective anti-reflux and antacid preparation used to relieve symptoms associated with acid reflux and heartburn. It contains a combination of Sodium Alginate and Potassium Bicarbonate, which work together to reduce acid irritation and prevent stomach contents from flowing back into the esophagus. This suspension formulation is particularly helpful for individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets and for patients who require rapid symptom relief.

The medicine is commonly used to manage conditions related to excess stomach acid, including Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, acid regurgitation, and indigestion. It forms a protective layer on top of the stomach contents, which helps block acid reflux and soothe irritation in the esophagus.

Indications

Abicon Suspension is indicated for the relief and management of several acid-related digestive conditions, including:

1. Acid reflux and regurgitation.

2. Heartburn occurring after meals or during pregnancy.

3. Symptoms of Indigestion.

4. Irritation of the esophagus caused by stomach acid.

5. Management of GERD symptoms such as burning chest pain and sour taste in the mouth.

It is particularly useful for patients experiencing discomfort after heavy meals, spicy foods, or lying down soon after eating.

Mechanism of Action

Abicon Suspension works through a dual-action mechanism.

First, sodium alginate reacts with stomach acid to form a thick gel-like structure known as an “alginate raft.” This raft floats on the surface of the stomach contents and acts as a physical barrier, preventing acid from refluxing into the esophagus.

Second, potassium bicarbonate neutralizes excess stomach acid by reacting with hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This reaction produces carbon dioxide, which helps the alginate gel float effectively and strengthens the protective barrier.

Through this combined action, Abicon Suspension reduces acid irritation, relieves heartburn, and protects the lining of the esophagus.

Abicon Suspension should be taken according to the advice of a healthcare professional.

General dosage guidelines include:
