Digeraft Plus Mint Flavour Oral Suspension 200 ml belongs to the class of 'gastrointestinal agents,' primarily used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease, heartburn, and acidity. It helps relieve symptoms of indigestion and gastrointestinal distress. Indigestion is the inability to digest food, which is associated with pain and discomfort in the stomach.
Digeraft Plus Mint Flavour Oral Suspension 200 ml contains Calcium carbonate, Sodium alginate, and Sodium bicarbonate. Calcium carbonate is an antacid that works by decreasing the amount of acid in the stomach. Sodium alginate forms a viscous gel by reacting with stomach acid. This gel floats on the surface of stomach contents and acts as a blockade to reduce reflux. Sodium bicarbonate is also an antacid and has an alkaline pH, which helps neutralise the acidic pH in the stomach.
