Gaviscon Double Action Mixed Berries Chewable Tablets Pack of 48 offers fast, soothing relief from the uncomfortable symptoms of heartburn and acid indigestion.

Description

These convenient chewable tablets are specially formulated to work in two powerful ways, providing effective and long-lasting relief from acid reflux and indigestion. Ideal for use after meals and at bedtime, Gaviscon Double Action Mixed Berries Chewable Tablets Pack of 48 helps you manage discomfort quickly and effectively.

How Gaviscon Double Action Works

The unique 'Double Action' formula targets both heartburn and indigestion simultaneously:

  • Neutralises Excess Stomach Acid: The white layer of the tablet contains antacids (calcium carbonate and sodium hydrogen carbonate) which quickly neutralise excess stomach acid, helping to relieve pain and discomfort.
  • Forms a Protective Barrier: The pink layer contains sodium alginate, which forms a protective raft over your stomach contents. This physical barrier helps to stop stomach acid from rising into the food pipe (oesophagus), soothing the burning sensation in your chest and providing relief that can last for up to four hours.

Gaviscon Double Action Mixed Berries Chewable Tablets are suitable for most adults, including pregnant women, offering a reliable solution for those unexpected bouts of acid reflux or indigestion.
