Resume

The article discusses the modern paradigm of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In recent years, views have shifted toward a personalized approach to the assessment and treatment of disease symptoms. Although proton pump inhibitors dominate over other drugs, the contribution of alginates is increasing among GERD treatment regimens due to their unique properties. Alginates are used both as monotherapy and in combination with proton pump inhibitors. 4 clinical cases of GERD, which are typical for the outpatient setting, are presented and discussed. The use of alginates significantly improves and simplifies GERD therapy. The drugs of the pharmacological line of Gaviscon^® (Reckkitt Benckiser Helsker (UK) Limited, Great Britain) are optimal both for course treatment and for «on-demand» therapy, fully meeting the requirements of treatment standards. At the same time, the compliance is easily achieved due to the ease of use, the pronounced effect in the treatment and the affordable price.
