reflux.&nbsp;Acid reflux is due to stomach acid being absorbed into the esophagus from the stomach.&nbsp;If the amount of&nbsp;hydrochloric acid&nbsp;in the stomach is too large or if the acid remains in the esophagus for too long, it becomes irritated and heartburn occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It contains&nbsp;calcium&nbsp;and magnesium compounds that bind the hydrochloric acid in the stomach and thereby reduce its acidity.&nbsp;1&nbsp;chewable tablet&nbsp;binds 12.5 mmol of&nbsp;hydrochloric acid.&nbsp;The acid-binding effect comes within a few minutes of taking this medicine.&nbsp;<strong>Novalucol in English<\/strong> does not contain sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a
