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.
