Ulge Raft Peppermint Flavour Sugar Free Bottle Of 150ml Suspension

Ulge Raft suspension provides relief from heartburn and indigestion. It treats acidity and indigestion, providing relief while also addressing heartburn and gas issues such as bloating and belching. Ulge Raft suspension works by neutralizing stomach acid in the body, alleviating abdominal pain and stomach discomfort.

The key ingredients, including sodium alginate, work to form a thick, gel-like layer in the stomach. Calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate react with stomach acid to release bubbles of carbon dioxide. This reaction allows the gel to form a strong protective barrier on top of the stomach contents, preventing the stomach acid from flowing back into the oesophagus.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Ulge Raft suspension works by neutralizing stomach acid, which helps reduce abdominal pain and discomfort. When gastric acid exists, substances like alginate turn bicarbonate into carbon dioxide. This gas gets trapped in a gel, creating a foam that floats above the stomach contents, similar to a raft on water. These foam rafts hold carbon dioxide and some antacid ingredients, forming a barrier that does not significantly alter stomach acidity.
