1. Bisodol heartburn relief tablets (discontinued in the UK)
   Sodium bicarbonate and magaldrate are commonly used as antacids in a variety of preparations. They alter the acidity of the stomach's juices, by binding to excess acid. This decreases the acidity of the contents of the stomach which may in turn help to relieve the symptoms of ulcers, heartburn or dyspepsia.The alginic acid forms a "raft" which floats on the surface of the stomach contents. This prevents the acidic contents of the stomach rising up into the oesophagus (the tube connecting the mouth to the stomach). In severe cases the "raft" may be forced up into the oesophagus, enabling it to protect the lining of the oesophagus from the stomach acid. This allows healing to take place and prevents further inflammation.
