title: [Radioisotopic evaluation of alginic acid/antacid effect on the prevention of pathologic gastroesophageal reflux (GER)].
abstract: In this study the antireflux effect of Antacid/Alginic Acid compound (Batynid (R)) was prospectively evaluated assessed by radionuclide technique. Patients were divided in 2 groups: mild esophagitis 13 patients and severe esophagitis 13 patients. The radionuclide study was done before and posterior ingestion of the compound evaluating duration, severity and number of the reflux episodes. The results show no significant differences comparing gastroesophageal reflux pre and post Batynid, in both group of patients, considering all parameters studied.
