Gaviscon soothes irritation in the oesophagus (food pipe) on its way down to the stomach. But once it has arrived in the stomach the action really begins!
Gaviscon works by forming a protective layer on top of the stomach contents. This protective layer keeps all the stomach contents in the stomach where they belong, not letting them seep back up into the oesophagus where they hurt.
Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist see your Health Care Professional.
Gaviscon liquid soothes in just 4 minutes and last for up to 4 hours.
