Overview
Brief Summary
This is a multicenter post-marketing surveillance study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Fixed dose combination (FDC) of Sodium Alginate IP 1000 mg and Potassium hydrogen carbonate Ph EUR 200 mg oral suspension in patients with GERD. Approximately 320 patients suffering with GERD who have been prescribed the FDC oral suspension as per the approved prescribing information in accordance with clinical practice and are willing to sign the patient authorization form (PAF), will be eligible to participate in the study.
The study will involve clinical assessments of patients at baseline visit (Day 1, Visit 1) and at or closest to 7 days after treatment with the FDC oral suspension (Visit 2). The FDC oral suspension will be prescribed by the investigator as a part of routine clinical practice, independent of the decision to include the patient in the study.
The FDC oral suspension will not be provided by the Sponsor. Each patient will take the FDC oral suspension (5-10 mL after meals and at bedtime) as per the prescribing information of the FDC for 7 days. A diary will be provided to the patients to record their clinical symptoms. If the clinical symptoms do not improve after 7 days, the clinical situation will be reviewed by the investigator.
