Gaviscon Double Action Liquid Sachets 10ml Pack of 12

Gaviscon Double Action Liquid Sachets 10ml Pack of 12 works in two distinct ways to tackle the symptoms of acid reflux and indigestion. Firstly, it quickly neutralises excess stomach acid, providing immediate relief from pain and discomfort. Secondly, it forms a protective barrier on top of your stomach contents. This physical barrier helps to prevent stomach acid from rising into your food pipe, soothing the burning sensation in your chest, commonly known as heartburn.

• Fast Acting: Designed to provide quick relief from uncomfortable symptoms.
• Convenient & Portable: Individually packed 10ml sachets are ideal for on-the-go use, fitting easily into your bag or pocket.

Whether it's after a meal or during pregnancy, Gaviscon Double Action Liquid Sachets 10ml Pack of 12 provides a reliable solution for managing your heartburn and acid indigestion effectively.
