How does Melox work to alleviate acidity?

Risk factors that cause Gastroesophageal Reflux:

• Pregnancy
• Smoking
• Eating large amounts of food or eating very late at night
• Consuming certain foods that trigger it, such as fatty or fried foods
• Alcoholic beverages or coffee
• Some medications like aspirin

Melox is a liquid antacid that acts immediately by directly counteracting the acidity in your stomach. The presence of these acids in the stomach is natural as they work to aid in the digestion of food. The stomach is the part of your digestive tract designed to withstand this type of acid. When stomach contents flow back into the esophagus, it causes acidity because the esophagus is not prepared to withstand acidity, especially for prolonged periods of time. Melox neutralizes these acids, therefore, the lining of the esophagus is less exposed to stomach acids.
