  • Title: The effects of gaviscon and metoclopramide in gastroesophageal reflux in children.
    Author: Forbes D, Hodgson M, Hill R.
    Journal: J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr; 1986; 5(4):556-9. PubMed ID: 3016226.
    Abstract:
    Oral metoclopramide (0.5 mg/kg/24 h) and a liquid alginic acid-antacid compound were administered to infants and children with gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in a double-blind randomized controlled trial. The effect of medication was measured with 24-h intraesophageal pH monitoring. Neither metoclopramide nor the alginic acid-antacid compound decreased the frequency or duration of gastroesophageal reflux.
