Description
Gaviscon Dual Action Tablets offer a reliable solution for those seeking relief from heartburn and indigestion. These chewable tablets are designed to provide fast and soothing relief, making them a convenient option for managing gastric discomfort.
How It Works
The dual-action formula works effectively by:

- Forming a Protective Barrier: The sodium alginate component creates a "raft" over stomach contents, preventing acid reflux into the oesophagus.

- Convenience: Available in a chewable format, suitable for use at home or on-the-go.
