Gastrokids – Anti-Reflux Syrup for Children

1. Uses:

GASTROKIDS™ is a medical device with a mechanical action, indicated for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux and/or laryngopharyngeal reflux in newborns and children.

It helps relieve associated symptoms, including acid or alkaline reflux, heartburn, a sensation of a lump or foreign body in the throat (globus sensation), inflammation of the nose, pharynx and larynx, belching, bloating, cough and hoarseness (impaired voice). It is also indicated for conditions in which gastroesophageal and/or laryngopharyngeal reflux is the primary or a contributing cause.

GASTROKIDS™ reduces the time gastric contents remain in the stomach.
