  • Title: [Chemico-physical property and bile acid binding capacity of several antacids].
    Author: Salvioli G, Tambara E, Gaetti E, Lugli R.
    Journal: Minerva Dietol Gastroenterol; 1989; 35(2):79-83. PubMed ID: 2548124.
    Abstract:
    Liquid alginate (Gaviscon) binds small amount of bile acids. At pH 7 its viscosity (at low shear rate) is higher than that of other antiacids. High viscosity reduces the diffusion rate of bile salts and glucose and this property can play a role in the treatment of gastro-esophageal and duodeno-gastric refluxes.
