Gaviscon Double Action Mixed Berries Flavour Chewable Tablets
Gaviscon Double Action Mixed Berries Flavour Chewable Tablets treat the symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux such as acid regurgitation, heartburn and indigestion, which may occur, for example, following meals or during pregnancy. It can also be used to treat the symptoms of excess stomach acidity (hyperacidity). The double action formula contains a combination of two antacids (calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate) and an alginate (sodium alginate) and works in two ways to provide fast, effective and long-lasting relief:
- Neutralises excess stomach acid to relieve the pain and discomfort.
- Forms a protective barrier over the stomach contents to soothe the burning pain in your chest.
Gaviscon Double Action Mixed Berries Flavour Chewable Tablets is suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding (as with all medicines, the treatment duration should be limited as much as possible) and is gluten free.
