Product Description
Gaviscon Peppermint Liquid Suspension 200mL is an over-the-counter antacid formulation containing sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate, designed to provide rapid and long-lasting relief from heartburn, acid indigestion and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Upon ingestion, it reacts with gastric acid to form a thick, floating raft that adheres to the stomach contents, preventing reflux into the esophagus. The peppermint flavor offers a refreshing taste, improving palatability for regular use. Ideal for symptoms triggered by meals, pregnancy or hiatal hernia, it neutralizes excess acid without systemic absorption. Free from sugar and gluten, it's suitable for diabetics and vegetarians. Manufactured by Reckitt Benckiser to pharmaceutical standards, the minty suspension offers up to 4 hours of protection per dose.
