Description

Gaviscon Peppermint Liquid Relief Oral Suspension

Gaviscon Peppermint Liquid Relief Oral Suspension provides fast, soothing and long-lasting relief from the symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux such as acid regurgitation, heartburn and indigestion, which may occur for example following meals or during pregnancy. It belongs to a group of medicines called 'reflux suppressants' and works by forming a protective layer on top of the stomach contents to prevent stomach acid escaping from the stomach and causing pain and discomfort in the food pipe.

Gaviscon Peppermint Liquid Relief Oral Suspension is suitable for use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding and is sugar and gluten free.

Gaviscon Peppermint Liquid Relief Oral Suspension is available in 150ml, 300ml and 600ml bottles.
