Description

Gaviscon Double Action Mixed Berries Flavour Oral Suspension

Gaviscon Double Action Mixed Berries Flavour Oral Suspension provides fast and effective relief from heartburn and indigestion in adults and children from 12 years and lasts for up to 4 hours. It treats acid-related symptoms of gastro-oesophagus reflux such as acid regurgitation, heartburn and indigestion, which may occur, for example, following meals or during pregnancy. 

Gaviscon Double Action Mixed Berries Flavour Oral Suspension combines two antacids (Calcium carbonate and Sodium
hydrogen carbonate) and an alginate (Sodium alginate) and works in two ways:

  • Neutralising excess stomach acid to relieve the pain and discomfort.
  • Forming a protective barrier over the stomach contents to soothe the burning pain in your chest which may last for up to four hours.

Gaviscon Double Action Mixed Berries Flavour Oral Suspension is free from sugar and gluten.

  • Do not take this product within two hours of taking other medicines by mouth as it can interfere with the action of some other medicines.

  • Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines obtained without prescription.
