In Treatment of Acidity
Tricaine Raft Syrup relieves excessive acidity in your stomach which prevents heartburn and indigestion. Usually, it is used along with other medicines for the management of this condition.

Some simple lifestyle changes can help stop or reduce heartburn.

How Tricaine Raft Syrup works
Tricaine Raft Syrup is a combination of alginic acid, calcium carbonate, and sodium bicarbonate. Alginic acid forms a protective foam layer that floats on top of the contents of the stomach. This prevents stomach acid from escaping into the food pipe. Calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate are antacids that neutralize gastric acid.
