    It sounds like what we call a "pink lady" - a mix of gastrogel (minty flavoured reflux liquid) and lignocaine (topical anaesthetic / numbing liquid). We give it to people who we think may have reflux of an irritated ulcer / stomach problem. It stops the burning sensation and settles the stomach.

    I agree with Michelle! Sounds like a pink lady mix to me too.

    So what is the medical term for it?

    Makes sense, because when they discharged me they said i had a bad case of reflux wasn't until later that i was diagnosed properly.

    I don't think there is a medical term for it It is just a mix of 2 medications that can often help with the pain and burning. Even the medical staff call it a pink lady.

    Oh ok, it is just that the nurse that gave it to me rattled of some big medical term for it, which is why i couldnt remember what it was called.
