Gaviscon Double Action Mixed Berries Chewable Tablets Pack of 12

Gaviscon Double Action Mixed Berries Chewable Tablets Pack of 12 work in two distinct ways to tackle both heartburn and indigestion:

• Neutralising Excess Stomach Acid: The white layer of the tablet gets to work quickly, neutralising excess stomach acid to relieve pain and discomfort.
• Forming a Protective Barrier: The pink layer forms a strong, protective barrier over the stomach contents, helping to soothe the burning pain in your chest and prevent acid from rising for up to four hours.

This medicine is particularly effective for acid-related symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux, including acid regurgitation, and is even suitable for use during pregnancy, offering welcome relief for expectant mothers.
