[Heartburn and regurgitation in pregnancy. Efficacy and innocuousness of treatment with Gaviscon suspension].
This open trial was conducted in 50 pregnant women, presenting during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of their pregnancy typical symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux (pyrosis, regurgitations, retro-sternal burning sensations, dyspepsia, epigastric burning). The treatment with Gaviscon, suspension to drink, lasted 1 month at a dose of 2 tablespoons, 4 times/day after meals and in the evening at bedtime. After one month, all symptoms were improved, in a statistically significant fashion, regarding their frequency, intensity and duration. The efficacy is considered positive in 98 p. cent of the cases; the patient's impression is favorable in 70 p. cent of the cases. Tolerance is excellent and the medication is satisfactorily accepted.
