RIOPAN Stomach Gel Stick Pack, 50X10 ml

RIOPAN Stomach gel for heartburn

For many people, meals can quickly become distressing when they suffer from heartburn.A burning sensation behind the breastbone can often be felt shortly after eating, accompanied by acid belching and a feeling of oppression.In such cases, RIOPAN stomach gel can be an effective aid.This over-the-counter medical product acts as an acid binder and offers quick immediate relief from heartburn.The active ingredient Magaldrat, an antacid, binds excess stomach acid and effectively relieves symptoms.Sufficient acid remains in the gastric juice to maintain digestive activity.

The benefits of RIOPAN stomach gel

The practical bags (sachets) make handling easy.The gel works quickly and long-lasting, with the onset of effects occurring after just a few minutes.The relief begins in the esophagus.The gel also has a pleasant caramel taste with cream aroma.The stick packs are available in different sizes with 10, 20 or 50 bags.

RIOPAN Magen Gel is also suitable for people with certain food intolerances, diabetes or a vegan lifestyle.It is sugar-free and therefore suitable for diabetics.It is also lactose-free and can be used by people with lactose intolerance.People with celiac disease can also take it because it is gluten-free.The gel contains no animal ingredients or additives.

How RIOPAN Stomach Gel works

The stomach is the part of the digestive system where the digestion process begins.It requires digestive enzymes and stomach acid to neutralize bacteria that enter the body when food is consumed.The stomach lining produces acid and enzymes and 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.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.

Application of RIOPAN stomach gel

RIOPAN Magen Gel is taken for quick immediate relief as soon as the first symptoms of heartburn or other acid-related complaints appear.This often happens shortly after a meal.Then it should be taken within one to two hours after eating. RIOPAN Magen Gel can also be used for symptomatic relief of ulcers of the stomach and duodenum.

Adults and children aged 12 and over take the contents of one sachet several times a day if necessary.The total daily dose is 4 sachets.If you forget to take RIOPAN Magen Gel, then take the normal single dose (1 sachet).Please do not take a double dose.Shake the bag once before use.

The medicine must not be taken if you are hypersensitive (allergic) to Magaldrat or any of the other ingredients of the medicine.The medicine should not be used in children under 12 years of age.There is insufficient experience with use during pregnancy, so the benefit-risk ratio should be carefully weighed before taking it.If taken, it should only be short-term.

Take special care if your kidney function is impaired or for long-term use.In these cases, you may only take the medicine under regular medical monitoring of certain blood values (aluminum).Prolonged and recurring stomach problems can be signs of a serious illness, such as:B. a stomach or duodenal ulcer.Treatment should therefore not last longer than 14 days without a medical examination.If tarry stools, blood in the stool or vomiting of blood occur, see a doctor immediately.
