Gaviscon Peppermint Liquid 150ml

Gaviscon Peppermint Flavour Sugar Free Suspension is used to manage acidity, indigestion, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms such as heartburn, bloating, and belching. This antireflux agent works through a unique dual-action mechanism: Sodium Alginate reacts with gastric acid to form a physical "raft" or protective barrier that floats atop stomach contents to manage acid reflux, while Sodium Bicarbonate and Calcium Carbonate act as antacids to neutralise excess stomach acid. The sugar-free formula provides rapid, long-lasting relief from localised burning sensations. For optimal digestive comfort, the medication should be consumed after meals and at bedtime as directed by your healthcare professional.

• Sodium Alginate: Sodium Alginate is a natural polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed, used in Gaviscon to create a protective barrier on top of the stomach contents. This barrier helps manage acid reflux by keeping the stomach acids from rising into the oesophagus. Sodium Alginate is particularly effective in managing symptoms of heartburn and indigestion, as it not only neutralizes acid but also soothes the lining of the oesophagus, managing irritation and discomfort.
   
• Sodium Bicarbonate: Sodium Bicarbonate is a fast-acting antacid that works by neutralizing stomach acid, providing quick relief from indigestion and heartburn. It reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach to form carbon dioxide, water, and salt, which helps to manage acidity and relieve symptoms like bloating, gas, and stomach discomfort. Sodium Bicarbonate is a key ingredient in Gaviscon, contributing to its rapid relief action.
   
• Calcium Carbonate: Calcium Carbonate is another potent antacid that neutralizes excess stomach acid. It works by reacting with gastric acid to form calcium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide, which helps alleviate symptoms of acid reflux, heartburn, and indigestion. In addition to its antacid properties, Calcium Carbonate also supports bone health by providing a source of calcium, making it a beneficial ingredient in Gaviscon.

• Manages Acidity and Indigestion: Gaviscon Peppermint Flavour Sugar-Free Suspension is specifically formulated to manage acidity and indigestion. The combination of Sodium Alginate, Sodium Bicarbonate, and Calcium Carbonate works quickly to neutralize stomach acid and provide effective relief from discomfort.
   
• Provides Rapid and Long-Lasting Relief: This suspension provides relief in just 3 minutes, offering rapid relief from heartburn and indigestion symptoms. Additionally, it provides up to 4 hours of relief, which is twice as long as most standard antacids, ensuring prolonged comfort.
   
• Safe for Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women: Gaviscon is safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, making it a trusted choice for managing heartburn and indigestion in expectant and nursing mothers. Its sugar-free and gluten-free formulation ensures it’s suitable for a wide range of individuals.
   
• Manages Symptoms of Acidity and Stomach Discomfort: The suspension is highly effective in managing symptoms of acidity, such as abdominal pain, stomach discomfort, bloating, and belching. The ingredients work together to neutralize acid, form a protective barrier, and soothe the digestive tract.
   
• Neutralises Stomach Acid and Eases Heartburn: Gaviscon helps neutralize stomach acid, providing quick relief from the pain and discomfort caused by heartburn. It also manages gas troubles like bloating and belching, making it a comprehensive solution for digestive issues.
