Acidex Oral Suspension Peppermint 500ml is a sugar-free, peppermint-flavoured liquid designed to relieve discomfort from heartburn, acid reflux and indigestion by targeting the cause of reflux in the oesophagus. It suits adults and adolescents who experience burning in the chest, sour-tasting fluid in the throat or upper abdominal discomfort, including those whose symptoms occur after meals, during pregnancy or with conditions such as hiatus hernia and reflux oesophagitis. The suspension reacts with stomach acid to form a soothing alginate “raft” that floats on top of the stomach contents, helping to block acid, bile and pepsin from flowing back up towards the food pipe for up to four hours. This practical 500ml bottle offers an easy-to-take option for people seeking dependable, fast-acting relief that fits smoothly into everyday routines.

Key Features

• Targeted reflux relief: Forms a protective alginate barrier on top of the stomach contents, helping to prevent acid and bile from flowing back into the oesophagus and easing symptoms of heartburn and regurgitation.
• Fast-acting comfort: Reacts rapidly with gastric acid to provide quick soothing relief from burning pain and reflux-related indigestion.
• Sugar-free peppermint flavour: Sugar-free, pleasant peppermint suspension that is easy to swallow and suitable for those who prefer to avoid sugary antacid tablets or chalky mixtures.
• Suitable for frequent symptoms: Can be used for repeated episodes linked to meals, late-night eating or positional reflux, and is indicated in heartburn of pregnancy and dyspepsia associated with gastric reflux and hiatus hernia.
• Clinically established alginate formula: Contains sodium alginate with antacid components such as sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate, a well-established combination that forms a near-neutral pH gel raft and is widely used in the management of gastro-oesophageal reflux.

What symptoms can Acidex Oral Suspension Peppermint 500ml help with?

Acidex Oral Suspension helps with symptoms caused by gastric reflux, including heartburn, acid regurgitation, reflux-related indigestion, and discomfort in the chest or upper stomach area. It may also help relieve throat symptoms associated with reflux, such as hoarseness or sore throat.

How does Acidex Oral Suspension work inside the stomach?

The suspension reacts with gastric acid to form a thick alginate gel “raft” that floats on top of the stomach contents and maintains a near-neutral pH. This barrier helps to reduce reflux of acid and other stomach contents into the oesophagus, providing a protective, soothing effect for several hours.
