Burning pain behind the sternum and reflux of gastric juice accompanied by burning and heartburn can occur when stomach acid enters the esophagus when lifting weights, after eating or lying down. Similar symptoms can occur in the case of a stomach ulcer or gastritis or in rare cases in more serious diseases of the stomach and esophagus. Gaviscon Liquid Sachets belongs to a group of drugs called "reflux suppressors", with the main ingredient alginate. Alginic acid is a natural carbohydrate that is extracted from seaweed. When taking a spoonful of the syrup, the combination of alginic acid and calcium bicarbonate creates a protective barrier foam on the surface of the stomach contents, which prevents the leakage of stomach acid from the stomach to the esophagus.
