Polygel Dual offers comprehensive GERD control by combining fast acid neutralization with proven reflux prevention, delivering quick relief and sustained protection for patients with heartburn and acid indigestion.
The dual-action alginate-antacid formulation, addresses both acid neutralization and reflux prevention, targeting the underlying pathophysiology of GERD, including the post-prandial acid pocket.
Polygel Dual works through a non-systemic, physical mode of action by aiding alginate raft formation within 25 seconds with pH rise to ≥7 within 1 minute, acid neutralization for overall GERD symptom control, and anti-flatulence. The dual mechanism of action ensures both symptomatic relief and reflux suppression.
In a comparative evaluation – ACIDUAL Study – against commonly used alginate-antacid brands in African markets, Polygel Dual demonstrated optimal performance across both key parameters – effective raft formation and high acid-neutralizing capacity (ANC 8.25 mEq/g), outperforming comparator formulations that showed efficacy in only one parameter.
