Gaviscon Tablets 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).
Warnings
Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist see your Health Care Professional. Contain calcium carbonate & sodium bicarbonate.
