Ranraft Mint Flavour Sugar Free Chewable Tablet 10

Ranraft Mint Flavour Sugar Free Chewable Tablet  is used for relieving heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux. It acts by forming a physical barrier that can help reduce stomach contents from flowing back into the oesophagus. The mint flavour offers a refreshing taste by providing effective relief. It can be used for conditions like reflux oesophagitis, acidity, and reflux occurring after gastric surgery. Being sugar-free, it is also suitable for individuals who wish to avoid sugar intake.

• Sodium Alginate (500 mg): Sodium Alginate forms a thick gel when it comes in contact with gastric acid, creating a barrier on top of the stomach contents. It can help reduce acid, bile, and pepsin from refluxing into the oesophagus. Sodium alginate acts locally in the stomach without being absorbed into the bloodstream. It may soothe the burning sensation in the chest caused by acid regurgitation and provide prolonged relief.
   
• Potassium Bicarbonate (100 mg): It reacts with gastric acid to release carbon dioxide, which helps float the alginate barrier on the stomach contents. This may reduce acid reflux more effectively. Potassium also contributes to maintaining the body’s electrolyte balance by soothing the stomach lining. It may assist in reducing the acidic environment in the stomach.

• Helps Relieve Heartburn and Acid Reflux: Sodium alginate in Ranraft Mint Flavour Sugar Free Chewable Tablet, forms a gel-like layer on the stomach contents, which can help reduce acid from moving upward into the oesophagus. Potassium bicarbonate may support this process by allowing the barrier to float on gastric contents.
   
• Manages Indigestion and Regurgitation: The formulation helps in managing indigestion caused by acid reflux or irritation of the stomach lining. Sodium alginate may reduce acid exposure, while potassium bicarbonate neutralises excess acid. 
   
• Useful In Acidity: Increased abdominal pressure can often cause reflux symptoms. Potassium bicarbonate adds mild neutralising properties without systemic absorption, making it well-tolerated.
   
• Supports Recovery after Gastric Surgery: After certain stomach procedures, patients may experience reflux symptoms. Ranraft Mint Flavour Tablet helps reduce such reflux by creating a physical shield that limits acid flow into the oesophagus. 
   
• Helps Reduce Throat Irritation due to Reflux: The barrier formed by sodium alginate can help control exposure of the throat and voice box to acidic contents. This may soothe sore throats, hoarseness, and coughing associated with acid reflux.
