Gaviscon was the first remedy of its kind available in Australia. It contains sodium alginate, which is naturally derived. It is classed as an “alginate” which means that it forms a “protective layer” over the stomach contents which helps to prevent acid coming back up into the oesophagus (food pipe). As such, it is fast acting and has a soothing effect, lasting up to four hours. It is effective at treating the classic symptoms of heartburn (a burning pain in the chest and mild acid regurgitation).
Choose from either a liquid (aniseed or peppermint flavour) or tablets (lemon or peppermint flavour).
Gaviscon liquid soothes in just 4 minutes and last for up to 4 hours.
Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist see your Health Care Professional. Contain calcium carbonate & sodium bicarbonate.
