Refalgin is a mechanical medical device indicated for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux, specially designed to reduce symptoms such as heartburn, retrosternal burning (heartburn during pregnancy), dysphonia (hoarseness), cough, acid regurgitation and inflammation of the nasopharynx.
What are the indications for Refalgin?
Refalgin is based on a compound called alginate, which is made from seaweed and mechanically stops gastric reflux. When alginate comes into contact with fatty acids in the stomach, it forms a gel that acts as an anti-reflux barrier and prevents acid from returning to the oesophagus.
It can be used during long-term treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as primary prophylaxis of gastropathy caused by these drugs.
How is Refalgin administered?
Wash your hands before using the medical device!

Tablets
Take at least two hours before or two hours after taking other medicines or other oral products to avoid interference (in the absorption process); 1-2 tablets after meals with water.
The duration of administration depends on the evolution of symptoms and, if necessary, it can be administered for long periods. If symptoms do not improve, consult your doctor.
