Gaviscon Double Action Liquid Mint 150ml offers quick and effective relief from the discomfort of heartburn and acid indigestion. This trusted GSL medicine works in two distinct ways to bring you soothing relief.

Description

When heartburn and acid indigestion strike, you need a solution that works fast. Gaviscon Double Action Liquid Mint 150ml is formulated to provide rapid and long-lasting relief, tackling the symptoms directly where they occur.

How Gaviscon Double Action Liquid Mint Works

This powerful liquid provides dual relief by:

  • Neutralising Excess Stomach Acid: It contains antacids (calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate) that quickly neutralise stomach acid, relieving the painful burning sensation.
  • Forming a Protective Barrier: An alginate component forms a protective layer on top of your stomach contents. This physical barrier helps to prevent acid from rising into your food pipe (oesophagus), soothing the burning pain of reflux and acid regurgitation.

Whether your symptoms occur after meals, during pregnancy, or due to general excess stomach acidity, Gaviscon Double Action Liquid Mint 150ml can help you manage your discomfort effectively. Its mint flavour makes it pleasant to take, ensuring a smoother experience. Trust Weldricks Pharmacy for reliable healthcare solutions and swift delivery across the UK.
