Then ensure Minimum impurity, Optimum Quality, Highest efficacy and Maximum safety.
Gavinate shows excellent features then Conventional, such as -
- Gavinate works within 3 minutes, where Magaldrate + simethicone and Aluminium Hydroxide (Al(OH)3) + Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) needs 20 minutes and 19 minutes respectively. So we can say that Gavinate provides quick relief from hyperacidity.
- Duration of action is Up to 3 hrs. of Magaldrate + simethicone and Aluminium Hydroxide (Al(OH)3) + Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) but Gavinate provides long-lasting effect up to 4 hrs.
- Magaldrate + simethicone and Aluminium Hydroxide (Al(OH)3) + Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) shows Acid rebound effect but Gavinate does not shows Acid rebound effect and ensures longer acidity free moments.
- Magaldrate + simethicone and Aluminium Hydroxide (Al(OH)3) + Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) exert a Chalky taste in the mouth, but Gavinate does not exert No bad taste in the mouth and ensures palatability to the patient community.
- Magaldrate + simethicone and Aluminium Hydroxide (Al(OH)3) + Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) is Recommended from 12 years of age but Gavinate is Recommended from 6 years of age. Which ensures safer option than conventional.
- Gavinate is Suitable for use in pregnancy (Truly non-systemic drug) but Magaldrate + simethicone and Aluminium Hydroxide (Al(OH)3) + Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) Pregnancy category is "C".
- Constipation, Diarrhea is a common side effect in Magaldrate + simethicone and Aluminium Hydroxide (Al(OH)3) + Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), but Gavinate does not show these side effect and provides hazardous free smooth life.
- Overall we can say that Features of Gavinate ensures hyperacidity related hazard free smooth life.
Mode of Action of Gavinate:
Gavinate is a combination f Sodium Alginate, Sodium bicarbonate and Calcium carbonate provide faster relief from hyperacidity, where Sodium bicarbonate and Calcium carbonate neutralize gastric acid and Sodium alginate form a raft on top of stomach contents and sodium bicarbonate forms CO2 to help the gel to float and Calcium from Calcium carbonate increases the raft strength. And provides complete relief from hyperacidity.
Acid Pocket: An Acid pocket is a local area of gastric acidity that accumulates in the proximal stomach after meals and serves as the reservoir for postprandial acidic reflux in healthy individuals and gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients.
Dosage and Administration:
Children 6 to 12 years: 5ml - 10ml maximum 4 times a day after meals.
Adults and children over 12 years: 10ml - 20ml maximum 4 times a day after meals.
Our brand slogan is Enjoy Food, Not Acidity and Brand name justification by Gastric Acid diminished by Vital Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Alginate and Calcium Carbonate.
Key points of Gavinate:
- European API ensures Minimum Impurity to provide Optimum Quality product which ensures Highest Efficacy and Maximum Safety
- Only combination which is able to eliminate or displace the acid pocket and neutralize stomach acid in GERD patients
- Quick relief from acidity within 3 minutes
- Does not show Acid rebound effect
- Suitable for use in pregnancy
- No dose adjustment is necessary for hepatic impaired patient
- No dosage adjustment is required for an elderly patient.
