Description

Gaviscon Dual Act Liquid is formulated to provide effective relief from the discomfort of gastro-oesophageal reflux symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and indigestion. Its unique dual-action mechanism offers both immediate and long-lasting comfort, making it a reliable choice for those seeking relief after meals or during pregnancy.

How It Works

Gaviscon Dual Act Liquid operates through a two-fold approach:

• Antacid Effect: It neutralizes excess stomach acid, alleviating pain and discomfort.
• Alginate 'Raft' Formation: It creates a protective barrier on top of stomach contents, preventing acid reflux into the oesophagus.
