RIOPAN Stomach Gel Stick Pack, 10X10 ml

RIOPAN Stomach gel for heartburn

For heartburn sufferers, meals can quickly trigger symptoms.A burning sensation behind the breastbone can sometimes be felt shortly after eating.Acid belching and a feeling of oppression may also occur.

If an acidic stomach affects your well-being, RIOPAN stomach gel can help.The over-the-counter medical product acts as an acid binder for quick immediate relief from heartburn.It uses the active ingredient magaldrate from the active ingredient group of stomach acid-binding antacids and has a high acid-binding capacity.

In this way, the excess stomach acid can be quickly neutralized and the symptoms can be alleviated for a long time.Despite the effective active ingredient content, the drug was developed in such a way that sufficient acid remains in the gastric juice.This is important so that the stomach can continue its digestive activity even after ingestion.

RIOPAN Magen Gel is also suitable for people with certain food intolerances, diabetes or a vegan lifestyle:

sugar-free and suitable for diabetics, lactose-free and can be used by people with lactose intolerance, gluten-free and suitable for use by people with celiac disease, without animal ingredients or additives.

This is how RIOPAN stomach gel works

The stomach is the part of the digestive system where the digestion process begins.It is also said to render harmless bacteria that enter the body when we eat.For this he needs digestive enzymes and stomach acid.Acid production and enzyme formation take place in the stomach lining.At the same time, it protects the stomach from the acid produced with a layer of mucus.However, if the gastric juice enters the esophagus, acid belching occurs.The esophagus is not protected against the acid and can become inflamed, causing heartburn.

RIOPAN Stomach gel works specifically where the symptoms arise.It neutralizes excess stomach acid and helps relieve heartburn.

By the way, spicy foods, nicotine and alcohol can further increase acid production and lead to an acidic stomach.If the stomach lining cannot maintain the protective film, the acidic gastric juice also attacks the stomach itself.Additional symptoms such as stomach pain and stomach ulcers may then occur.

Thanks to its acid-binding effect, RIOPAN Magen Gel is also suitable for relieving the symptoms of stomach and duodenal ulcers.In order to achieve a quick and effective effect, the medicine should be taken as soon as symptoms occur.

Chewable tablets as an alternative to stomach gel RIOPAN

An alternative that is even easier to use for heartburn are RIOPAN stomach tablets.Like the RIOPAN stomach gel, the chewable tablets also contain the active ingredient magaldrate for use against acid-related complaints in the stomach and esophagus.The tablets are available in packs of 20, 50 and 100 dragees.
