Pharmacodynamics

Antacid medication. After oral administration, the drug quickly interacts with the acidic contents of the stomach. This forms an alginate gel that prevents the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux. During regurgitation, the gel is more likely than the stomach contents to enter the esophagus, where it reduces irritation of the mucous membrane.

Pharmacokinetics

The mechanism of action of the Gaviscon Forte preparation does not depend on absorption into the systemic bloodstream.
