Laminagel (Sodium Alginate) (Military Supply Name: Sodium Alginate Solution)

Adult dose

To stop bleeding and improve subjective symptoms for gastric and duodenal ulcers and erosive gastritis, and to improve symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease, Sodium Alginate is typically administered as 1 to 3g (20 to 60mL) orally 3 to 4 times a day on an empty stomach. If oral administration is not possible, nasogastric administration using a feeding tube will be performed. In case of gastric biopsy bleeding, generally administer 0.5 to 1.5g (10 to 30mL) endoscopically.

This medication may occasionally cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea or constipation during use, so caution is advised. If these symptoms become severe or if other abnormal symptoms occur, it is important to immediately stop taking the medication and consult a doctor or dentist. Taking the medication's instruction manual or packaging along is helpful during the consultation. Additionally, in cases of low stomach acid, this medication may not work effectively, so individuals with hypochlorhydria should consult with medical professionals before use.
