Gastroesophageal reflux is a frequent condition due to a part of the acidic gastric contents that rises from the stomach towards the esophagus.
However, when it becomes frequent or too intense, it causes to the patient uncomfortable symptoms such as heartburn sensation, acid regurgitation, dysphonia, digestive and swallowing difficulties, that may be associated with chest pain.
Against acid reflux symptoms
RefluZero is a medical device with a mechanical action indicated for the symptomatic treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
It rapidly reduces associated symptoms, such as:
HEARTBURN
Heartburn presents as a retrosternal burning often associated with a "rising sensation" and a bitter taste in the mouth (acid reflux). It is often due to gastroesophageal reflux disease whereby the acid content of the stomach overcomes the esophageal sphincter, damaging the mucosa and causing a burning pain.
ACID REGURGITATION
Regurgitation is an often overlooked symptom, characterized by a bitter taste in the mouth or a feeling of fluid rising from the stomach, that occurs in approximately 80% of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), with varying levels of severity.
DYSPHAGIA
Patients with esophageal dysphagia may experience a sensation of blocked food after swallowing. This condition is mostly caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease and functional esophageal disorders.
HYPERACIDITY
Hyperacidity is an excess in the amount of gastric acids normally secreted by the stomach. It has often been found in people who work excessively, in patients who lead sedentary lives and inadequate diets, in those who work under great strain or in conjunction with other diseases.
DYSPHONIA
Voice disorders may occur as a result of a disturbed voice production process, birth defects, post-traumatic conditions, chronic diseases, or hormonal disorders. Chronic diseases that trigger voice disorders include laryngopharyngeal reflux disease and esophageal reflux disease.
COUGH
Chronic cough is a common condition that results in a significant impact on quality of life. Along with cough variant asthma and nasal disease, gastroesophageal reflux is regarded as one of the top three causes of cough.
