Gaviscon or Phosphalugel: which is better?

Characteristics of Gaviscon

The drug contains sodium and calcium salts of carbonic acid, which, through neutralization reactions with hydrochloric acid, increase the pH of gastric juice.

Gaviscon or Phosphalugel can relieve stomach discomfort and heartburn within a quarter of an hour.

The third component is the sodium salt of alginic acid. When it enters the stomach, it forms a gel film and performs a barrier function between the stomach and the esophagus. In addition, alginates are able to suppress pain sensitivity and bleeding of the gastric mucosa, improve intestinal motility and reduce the amount of pathogenic flora.

Available in 2 dosage forms:

• chewable tablets;
• suspension for oral administration.

The manufacturer also released suspensions of the drug with the names Gaviscon Forte and Gaviscon Double Action in bottles and 10 ml dosed sachets. They are distinguished by an increased concentration of calcium carbonate and sodium alginate.

How do they affect the body?

Both medications are similar in their effects on the human body.

Gaviscon

The active ingredients of Gaviscon interact with the secretory fluid of the stomach, forming a dense gel-like barrier that remains on the surface of the stomach contents.

Due to this, the stomach wall becomes protected from gastric acid secretion. Slows down intestinal motility, has cytoprotective and enterosorbent effects without penetrating into the blood. The effect of the medication lasts from 3 to 5 hours.

Gaviscon is a drug that has an antacid, enveloping and absorbent effect.

Almagel

After oral administration, Almagel acts locally and is able to neutralize secreted gastric juice for a long time, reducing the content of hydrochloric acid to the required concentration. It has local anesthetic, choleretic and mild laxative effects.

During the interaction of aluminum hydroxide with pepsin, its production decreases. When magnesium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid, it is neutralized.

The active component sorbitol has a carminative effect and improves the process of bile secretion by the liver. After oral administration, the medication begins to act within 5 minutes. This effect lasts for more than 1 hour.

Characteristics of Phosphalugel

The active ingredient of the drug is aluminum phosphate. This is a slightly soluble compound that has the following abilities:

• neutralizes hydrochloric acid, but, being buffered against it, maintains a pH of 3-4;
• prevents the effects of aggressive factors on mucous membranes, forming a protective layer on their surface;
• adsorbs gases, bile acids and toxins;
• slows down intestinal motility;
• restores the tone of the lower esophageal sphincter.

Phosphalugel is available in the form of an oral gel.

Available as an oral gel. Packaged in dosed sachets weighing 16 g and 20 g, 6, 20 and 26 sachets per package.

Similarities and differences between drugs

Despite the external similarity of liquid forms of drugs, they have different mechanisms of action and differ in indications and method of administration.

pharmachologic effect

Medicines are non-absorbable antacids. But Phosphalugel additionally has enveloping and sorption properties. And Gaviscon forms a protective film that prevents the reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus. Moreover, in comparison with aluminum preparations, it has a moderate antacid effect.

Indications for use

Indications for prescribing antacids will be the following symptoms:

• heartburn;
• belching with sour contents;
• burning pain in the stomach and behind the sternum;
• symptoms of gastric dyspepsia that occur after eating (nausea and a feeling of heaviness).

Therefore, both Gaviscon and Phosphalugel are used for the following conditions:

• gastritis with high acidity;
• reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus (GERD, reflux esophagitis, diaphragmatic hernia).

But due to the sorption and enveloping ability of Phosphalugel, the list of indications for use has been expanded:

• gastritis with normal acidity;
• erosions, gastric and duodenal ulcers;
• symptomatic treatment of inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (pancreatitis, colitis, etc.);
• functional diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome;
• Gastrointestinal disorders caused by taking medications, alcohol, irritants.

Directions for use and dosage

Gaviscon and Gaviscon Double action taken after meals and for pain, 1-2 chewable tablets or 10-20 ml of suspension (1-2 sachets) per dose and no more than 80 ml per day, for the Gaviscon forte release form - 5-10 ml per appointment and no more than 40 ml per day.

Gaviscon and Gaviscon Double Action are taken after meals.

Since the list of indications for Phosphalugel is wider, the dosage regimen depends on the reason for prescribing the drug:

• when gastric contents reflux into the esophagus - immediately after eating and before bedtime;
• for pain - immediately, regardless of food consumption;
• for erosive and ulcerative lesions of the stomach and duodenum - 1-1.5 hours after eating;
• for inflammation of the gastric mucosa and dyspepsia - before meals;
• for functional intestinal disorders - on an empty stomach in the morning and at night.

1-2 dosed sachets per dose. Before use, knead the bag with your fingers; its contents can be diluted in ½ glass of water.

For infants and preschool children, the dose per dose is reduced:

• up to ¼ sachet (1 tsp) for a child 0-6 months;
• up to 1/2 sachet for children under 6 years of age inclusive.

The duration of treatment with antacids is up to 7 days; consult your doctor about the need to continue therapy.

Side effects of Gaviscon and Phosphalugel

A side effect of Gaviscon with unknown frequency includes bronchospasm. As with any drug, intolerance reactions are possible. Since the composition contains calcium carbonate, with prolonged and frequent use of an antacid, the development of alkalosis, hypercalcemia, milk-alkali syndrome, the “rebound” phenomenon, constipation, and the formation of kidney stones cannot be ruled out.

A side effect of Gaviscon with unknown frequency includes bronchospasm.

When using the drug, a patient on a low-salt diet (with congestive heart failure, hypertension, edema, kidney disease) should take into account the sodium content in the drug:

• 1 chewable tablet – 61.5 mg;
• 10 ml of suspension of Gaviscon, Gaviscon forte and Double action - 141 mg, 106 mg, 127.25 mg, respectively.

In Gaviscon Forte, sodium bicarbonate is replaced by a potassium salt, so taking the drug in excess dosages can lead to hyperkalemia.

Phosphalugel, like Gaviscon, is well tolerated. Allergic reactions rarely develop. Possible side effects of long-term use of the drug include:

• hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia, hypercalciuria;
• stones in the kidneys;
• renal failure;
• osteoporosis;
• nausea, vomiting;
• constipation;
• encephalopathy.

Contraindications

Both drugs are contraindicated in case of individual intolerance. All forms of Gaviscon are not used in children under 12 years of age, with the exception of Gaviscon suspension, which is approved from 6 years of age.

In contrast, Phosphalugel can be used in children from birth. Contraindications for its use include severe renal dysfunction, Alzheimer's disease and hypophosphatemia.

Both drugs are approved for use by pregnant and lactating women.

Phosphalugel or Gaviscon: which is better and more effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, their differences. Instructions for use of these drugs. Reviews from patients.P... When treating gastrointestinal diseases, a gastroenterologist selects several medications, some of which may be similar in pharmacological action or indications, and may also act as analogues of more expensive medications. Therefore, the question often arises about what is better: Gaviscon or Phosphalugel. They are compared in several ways. Contents of the article Hide Gaviscon reviews

- Heartburn in pregnant women;

- after surgery on the esophagus.

- gastritis with normal or increased secretory function;

- non-ulcer dyspepsia syndrome

- stomach and intestinal disorders caused by intoxication, taking medications, irritants (acids, alkalis), alcohol.

The drugs Gaviscon and Fosfalugel have an enveloping property and protect the walls of the stomach from the destructive effects of gastric juice. The active substances in these preparations are different: in the first there is sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate, which can reduce the discomfort of gastroesophageal reflux with frequent heartburn in pregnant women in the postoperative period on the esophagus. But aluminum phosphate in phosphalugel is more aimed at treating diseases of the esophagus. Prescribe it for peptic ulcers, gastritis, dyspepsia and intoxication.

For pregnant and lactating women, the use of these drugs is possible, since according to research data, the above drugs do not pose a threat to the fetus and child.

If you compare the price, it turns out that Phosphalugel costs more and is asked in pharmacies from 179 rubles for 6 packets of the drug. Gaviscon for the same 12-sachet will cost 156 rubles. This, although not a big difference in prices, is most likely due to the wider spectrum of effects of the first drug. And don't forget that both drugs are used for different diseases.

Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract today, unfortunately, are not uncommon. Perhaps there is currently no person who does not feel stomach discomfort. And such a phenomenon, of course, is not the norm, but the fact remains: every second suffers from gastritis, acidity, bloating, heartburn and other digestive system disorders. Along with numerous lists of diseases, there are a lot of medications, the action of which is aimed at normalizing the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. This also includes “Phosphalugel”. Analogies, synonyms, methods of administration, as well as possible side effects and, of course, instructions will be discussed in this article.

This gel is a balanced substance that includes aluminum phosphate as an active substance, as well as pectin, agar-agar and sorbitol. The drug is able to neutralize the acidity of the stomach, as well as coat its walls and adsorb various sources of toxins. The main feature of the drug is that it does not interfere with the electrolytic balance of the body and does not contribute to the formation of stones in the urinary system. Not every analogue of Phosphalugel can boast of the same parameters.

The drug can be used both in combination and as monotherapy; quite often it is used as an ambulance for gastrointestinal disorders.

Your doctor may prescribe this medication for the following indications:

• gastrointestinal ulcer
• acute and chronic gastritis with normal and increased secretion

• li>
• diaphragmatic hernia;
• non-ulcer dyspepsia
• functional diarrhea
• reflux duodenal-gastric type
• flatulence
• heartburn.

The course of treatment is usually determined individually. An adult doctor can prescribe 1-2 packs of gel up to three times a day. Is it recommended not to give to children? sachet at a time three times a day.

The medicine is not prescribed for persons with individual intolerance to the components included in it, as stated in the instructions for use applied to the drug "Phosphalugel". Analogues of the drug in case of allergies should also be selected taking into account the components of the drug.

The drug is not prescribed to people with diabetes. In addition, it is not recommended to take this medicine during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

How to choose the right Phosphalugel analogue? It must be said right away that there are not too many systemic replacements that have the same spectrum of action, and choosing a medicine with a different structure is quite difficult. Therefore, when choosing a substitute, you must first start with the symptoms of the disease. For example, an analogue of “Phosphalugel” is chewable tablets called “Maalox”. This is also the Almagel and Alfagel suspension, which neutralizes acidity in the stomach. The drug "Enterol" will remove harmful toxins from the body, and the tablets and suspension "Motilium" will help with nausea and vomiting, the drug "Pepsan" will relieve spasms, reduce colic, the wrap and the antacid-neutralizing effect will eliminate the feeling of discomfort in the abdomen.

How to choose a replacement for a child if the doctor has prescribed the medicine “Phosphalugel”? An analogue for children should be chosen very carefully and, naturally, symptoms. For example, the drug “Plantex” will help the child’s body cope with increased gas production in the intestines, colic and the removal of spasms. If toxins must be removed from the body, it is better to give preference to simple sorbents such as Enterosgel.

Let us consider in detail some of the listed drugs that can act as an analogue of Phosphalugel.

I must say that not everyone will like the Phosphalugel product. An analogue in tablets, medicine “Maalox”, will be very useful in this case. This drug is similar in composition and action. The active ingredient is also aluminum, which is not absorbed into the blood through the stomach, but only envelops its walls, neutralizes acid and adsorbs toxic substances.

You can take this medicine to people over fifteen years of age. Your doctor may prescribe this drug for heartburn and

The drug is used in case of severe symptoms of the disease as an ambulance for 1-2 tablets every hour and a half, but not more than 12 tablets per day.

The most similar analogue of Phosphalugel is the Almagel suspension. Its active component is also magnesium, as well as benzocaine and sorbitol. This drug is prescribed for acute and chronic gastritis, ulcers, flatulence, food intoxication, hernia, heartburn, pain and discomfort. Recommended doses are 1-2 teaspoons for adults, 1/3 of this dose for children under 10 years of age and ? parts for patients 10-15 years old.

The drug is not used in the treatment of children under one year of age, pregnancy or during breastfeeding. In addition, it is strictly prohibited to use this medicine for severe renal impairment, Alzheimer's disease and sensitivity to components.

The medicine should not be taken for more than three days. The maximum daily intake for adults is 16 teaspoons.

This analogue of Phosphalugel may cause side effects such as vomiting or nausea, drowsiness and constipation.

The suspension is available in 170 and 200 ml bottles, as well as in bags.

This drug is an antidiarrheal agent, so it can act as a substitute only when Phosphalugel is prescribed for diarrhea. Analogues of the drug, as already mentioned, can be selected based on the patient’s existing health problems - this is the case. In addition to providing counteraction, the drug "Enterol" normalizes intestinal flora and is an antimicrobial, anthelmintic and antiparasitic agent with an antitoxic, immunostimulating, enzymatic effect.

This drug is obtained in the form of a powder for the preparation of a suspension for children from 100 mg of the active substance and in capsules of 250 mg. The composition of the drug includes magnesium stearate, gelatin and lactose monohydrate.

Prescribe the drug "Enterol" for diseases such as colitis of various courses and origins, acute and chronic diarrhea of ​​viral and bacterial etiology.

The peculiarity of this drug is that there has been no overdose in the history of use, unlike the drug "Phosphalugel".

Analogues of this type cannot completely become substitutes, but with diarrhea after taking Enterol capsules or suspensions, the result is positive. This is achieved much faster. But understand that this medicine cannot neutralize acidity or remove heartburn and therefore you will have to look for other medicines to eliminate these symptoms.

The drug "Motilium" refers to antiemetics, but it can also be classified as a substitute for the drug "Phosphalugel" (analogues of a narrow spectrum of action). The active component of tablets and suspensions is the substance domperidone. The composition includes lactose, potato starch (gelatinized), polyvidone, hydrogenated vegetable oil, magnesium stearate, hypromelose, sodium lauryl sulfate. This drug is used to treat dyspepsia, as well as to eliminate vomiting and various nausea. Depending on the severity of symptoms, the doctor may prescribe the patient to take 1 or 2 tablets three times a day. The suspension mode is selected individually based on the child’s body weight.

The drug is not prescribed to pregnant women before 12 weeks, after which time the risk and therapy with dose are assessed. The drug is transmitted through breast milk, so it is recommended to transfer the child to artificial feeding for the period of treatment or completely stop taking it.

If nausea and vomiting are painful and for some reason it is impossible to take the drug “Phosphalugel”, the analogue in tablets “Mottillium” is a worthy replacement.

Another fairly popular replacement with a similar effect is Pepsan. It is available in gel, sachet and capsule form. This drug is a combination medicine, and, like Phosphalugel, it has a form-fitting, anti-inflammatory, adsorbent, gas-lowering agent. It consists of the substances demythicone and guaazulene. This drug can be an excellent substitute for individual intolerance to the active components of the drug "Phosphalugel".

Pepsan is prescribed for reflux disease, increased acidity in the stomach, flatulence and abdominal pain.

Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to find the Russian equivalent in pharmacies. “Phosphalugel”, etc. are drugs of this type, which are often produced either in France or in Bulgaria. And, of course, the cost of such drugs is decent. However, it is not worth skimping on your health and resorting to traditional treatments, especially drinking baking soda to neutralize stomach acid.

When treating gastrointestinal diseases, the gastroenterologist selects several medications, some of them may be similar in pharmacological action or indications, and they may also act as analogues of more expensive drugs. Therefore, the question often arises about which is better - Gaviscon or Phosphalugel. They are compared in several ways.

Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract are, unfortunately, extremely common these days. This is primarily due to the unfavorable environmental situation. People are forced to eat contaminated with various chemicals or even all of this, of course, has a very strong effect on the intestines and stomach.

Many modern methods can be used to treat heartburn, gastritis and other similar diseases. For example, “Fosfalugel” has a very good rating according to patient reviews. It works on the body, this medicine is considered quite effective by many patients. However, find it in pharmacies. This drug is believed by most consumers to be very good for all types of stomach problems. In particular, the effective use of this drug can, according to many patients, cause heartburn and food poisoning. For the speed of action, a very good medicine also deserves. "Fosfalugel" reviews. Analogies, unfortunately, do not always have an immediate effect.

Some patients consider only some of the disadvantages of this remedy to be the unpleasant aftertaste that remains after it. Most patients do not like the smell of this drug.

“De-Nol, Omez, Secret-Forte, etc. are the main drugs of Fosfalugel analogues. The price of such substitutes may vary. But the patient reviews they deserve are good. In the drug "Phosphalugel" the main active ingredient is aluminum phosphate. Also, in the manufacture of this medicine, we use sorbitol, pectin, agar-agar, calcium sulfate, Almagel, the reviews of which are really very good, the composition is slightly different. The main active substances in this medicine are aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide.

In addition to the suspension, this medicine can be obtained in the form of tablets. This form also deserves very good feedback from consumers. This is called "Almagel T".

ulcer of the duodenum and stomach;

chronic and acute gastritis.

In addition, both drugs, according to consumers, are simply excellent for heartburn.

How to get into the stomach, this analogue of "Phosphalugel" n opens its walls with a protective film. In addition, Almagel stimulates the flow of bile and has a laxative effect on the body. the composition of medicinal magnesium neutralizes the effect of inducing constipation. This suspension also reacts with gastric juice, neutralizing its acidity. This, in turn, helps relieve the patient's pain.

This drug begins to have a beneficial effect on the human body about 5 minutes after ingestion. The drug lasts about 70 minutes. From “Phosphalugel” in this regard, “Almagel” is therefore also slightly different. This medicine works almost instantly. When you take the same drug as "Phosphalugel", the patient takes approximately 10-15 minutes. At the same time, the effect caused by this drug can last about 3 hours.

The opinion of patients who have problems with the gastrointestinal tract is that this tool is simply excellent. Most patients find it very effective. The medicine Almagel helps quickly. And this shows a positive effect not only in cases of stomach pain after eating fatty, spicy, etc. foods, but also with exacerbation of gastritis.

Some of the disadvantages of this product are considered by patients to not have a very pleasant taste. In addition, this suspension cannot be washed off with water.

This drug is prescribed to patients by doctors, usually in a dose of 5-10 ml (or 2-3 tablets) once. The medicine should be taken 1-2 hours after meals. In some cases, a single dose of the drug can be increased to 15 ml. For peptic ulcers, the medicine should be taken at night.

After the main therapeutic effect of using the drug "Almagel" is achieved, the doctor in most cases prescribes therapy that supports the patient. It consists of taking 5 ml (or 1 tablet) of medication 3 times a day. Drinking water after using this drug cannot pass after half an hour. The Almagel treatment course usually takes 2-3 months. For children, the dosage of the drug is calculated by the doctor depending on age.

So, Almagal should be taken 3 times a day. It is also quite simple and actually with the drug "Fosfalugel" itself to use. Its analogues are supplied in most cases in the form of tablets or suspensions. “Phosphalugel” itself, as already mentioned, is a gel. It is even more convenient than tablets or suspensions. Before using it for its intended purpose, it is usually simply diluted with water (half a cup).

The daily dose of this drug for adults is 1-2 packets (16 g) 2-3 times a day. For gastritis, the medicine should be taken before meals.

Thus, Fosfalugel is more convenient than Almagel. Water slightly “dilutes” the not very pleasant taste of this medicine.

The good patient reviews of this phospholagel analogue are due not only to the speed of action, but also to the fact that almost any patient can take it. It has only four contraindications: -mce-mark = "1"> allergy to active substances;

Side effects of this phospholagel analogue on the patient's body are rare. But various types of negative consequences after its use in some cases may still occur. The most common side effects of Almagel are:

In addition to the database of forms "Almagel", the modern pharmacological industry will migrate the following varieties of this medicine:

"Almagel A." em> The composition of this drug includes not only iron and magnesium hydroxide, but also benzocaine. The latter has a freezing effect on the tissues of the stomach and intestines, which promotes anesthesia.

"Almagel Neo." In addition to the main components, simethicone is included in this drug. This substance suppresses the intestinal microflora and, therefore, removes

A There are also very good patient responses to these two varieties online.

last > (20 sachets) costs or costs in pharmacies. depending on the region, about 350-400 rubles. A bottle of Almagel 170 ml suspension costs the patient only about 180-200 rubles. For 20 bags of Almagel Neo or Almagel A, pharmacies usually charge 300-350 rubles.

Thus, as we found out, one of the advantages of the tool is the “Fosfalugel” price. Reviews (analogues of this drug are often more expensive), it earned good reviews, including relatively cheap ones.

The effect on the body, however, of “Phosphalugel” is not too much. There are more serious pharmacological effects of its analogues on sale today. These include, for example, “De-Nol”. In particular, this medicine deserves good reviews from patients suffering from gastritis. Helping such patients, judging by their reviews, the De Nol medicine is very good. In addition, this drug is considered by many patients to be good for people suffering from stomach ulcers. Cause: This disease is caused by the microorganism Helicobacter pylori. This is him killing De-Nol.

Most patients explained the disadvantages of this drug, primarily its high cost. The price of the drug "De-Nol" is high, he must take it not 3, but 4 times a day.

This, released in the form of a suspension (capsules), according to many patients, simply perfectly eliminates stomach pain. In addition, it is well tolerated by the body. Side effects of Omez are almost never caused. Regarding the price of this medicine, patients have different reviews. The fact is that Omez capsules are supplied to the market from two different manufacturers. The domestic drug costs several times less than the imported one. And the main active substance in it is exactly the same.

Above we looked at which drug “Fosfalugel Instructions” to use. The price (an analogue of this drug is usually purchased in pharmacies not because of its cost, but because of its inaccessibility) this medicine is not too high. Some of its substitutes, such as "De-Nol", may unfortunately cost a little more. Such medications include, for example, “Secret-Forte”. This drug is marketed in tablet form. According to many patients, this is best for heartburn. The undoubted benefits of SecretPat-Forte for patients include, among other things, that it can be used during pregnancy. The taste and taste of these tablets is very pleasant, according to most patients. -mce-mark = “1”> This value of this medicine is about 520-530 rubles per pack of 50 tablets.

So, we found out what the real product is. “Fosfalugel” (instructions, price, reviews). Analogue medications are numerous and in most cases no less effective. Almagel is considered the best substitute for this product. Stomach pain, this drug is removed immediately. In addition, it is cheaper than most other analogues.
