The effects of gaviscon and metoclopramide in gastroesophageal reflux in children

D Forbes et al. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 1986 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

Oral metoclopramide (0.5 mg/kg/24 h) and a liquid alginic acid-antacid compound were administered to infants and children with gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in a double-blind randomized controlled trial. The effect of medication was measured with 24-h intraesophageal pH monitoring. Neither metoclopramide nor the alginic acid-antacid compound decreased the frequency or duration of gastroesophageal reflux.
