Gaviscon Liquid Heartburn & Indigestion Relief Peppermint Flavour, 600ml

Product Information

In severe cases the raft itself may be refluxed into the oesophagus, in preference to the stomach contents, and exert a demulcent effect. When the sodium alginate comes into contact with the irritating gastric acid, the alginate forms a “raft”, which acts as a protective barrier over your stomach contents, stopping acid from rising and soothing the burning sensation in your chest in the process.
