Gaviscon Double Action Mint Flavour Suspension 150ml

Gaviscon Double Action Mint Flavour Suspension 150ml is used for providing effective relief from heartburn, indigestion and acid reflux. Its unique formula combines sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate to neutralise stomach acid and form a protective barrier, managing acid from rising into the esophagus. This dual-action approach helps reduce discomfort caused by acid indigestion, bloating and gas. Sugar-free and gluten-free, Gaviscon is suitable for adults, including pregnant and breastfeeding women, making it a reliable option for managing acid-related symptoms.

• Sodium Alginate: Sodium alginate is a natural polysaccharide derived from seaweed. It forms a gel-like substance when it comes into contact with stomach acid. This gel creates a protective layer on top of the stomach contents, which helps reduce the risk of acid escaping into the oesophagus. It may help alleviate the burning sensation associated with heartburn and acid reflux by managing further irritation.
   
• Sodium Bicarbonate: Sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, is a common ingredient used to neutralise excess stomach acid. When combined with acid in the stomach, sodium bicarbonate reacts to form carbon dioxide, which helps to balance the acidity levels. This action may provide quick relief from the discomfort caused by acid indigestion, bloating and heartburn.
   
• Calcium Carbonate: Calcium carbonate is an alkaline compound that works to neutralise stomach acid. It helps reduce the acidity in the stomach, which may help relieve heartburn and indigestion. In addition to its acid-neutralising properties, calcium carbonate may provide temporary relief from stomach discomfort by increasing the pH balance within the stomach.

• Relieves Heartburn and Indigestion: The combination of sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate works to neutralise stomach acid, which may help alleviate the discomfort of heartburn and indigestion by reducing acidity and managing acid from rising into the oesophagus.
   
• Neutralises Stomach Acid: Sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate help neutralise excess stomach acid, providing quick relief from acid indigestion and bloating by balancing the stomach’s pH levels.
   
• Creates a Protective Barrier: Sodium alginate forms a gel-like layer over the stomach contents, helping to manage acid reflux and protecting the oesophagus from irritation caused by rising stomach acid.
   
• Alleviates Bloating and Gas: The neutralising properties of sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate help reduce bloating and gas, making the stomach more comfortable by addressing excess acidity.
   
• Suppresses Gastric Reflux: Sodium alginate helps suppress gastric reflux by forming a protective barrier that stops stomach acid from entering the oesophagus, offering relief from the discomfort of acid regurgitation.
   
• Offers Long-lasting Relief: Gaviscon Double Action provides up to four hours of relief by combining acid neutralisation with a protective barrier, ensuring prolonged comfort for individuals suffering from heartburn or acid-related discomfort.
