Exceraft Oral Suspension Mint Sugar Free is a medicine used in the treatment of heartburn and indigestion. It neutralizes the acid present in the stomach, and aids proper digestion of food.

How it works

Exceraft Oral Suspension Mint Sugar Free is a combination of three medications: Calcium carbonate, sodium alginate, and sodium bicarbonate. Calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate react with stomach acid releasing bubbles of carbon dioxide. These bubbles allow the gel to form a strong protective barrier on top of the stomach contents thereby preventing stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus. Additionally sodium bicarbonate dissolves quickly and neutralizes the stomach acid exerting a rapid buffering action. Sodium alginate reacts with gastric acid present in the stomach and produces a low-density viscous gel that floats on top of the stomach. This forms a physical barrier that protects the esophageal mucosa and the airways from the gastric reflux. Alginate has a rapid onset providing quick relief from reflux symptoms. Additionally it has a prolonged duration of action providing relief for up to 4 hours.
