Overview
Gaviscon Double Action Liquid 150ml delivers two-in-one relief from heartburn and acid indigestion. Its alginate forms a protective 'raft' that floats on the stomach contents, physically blocking acid from rising into the food pipe, while added antacids neutralise excess stomach acid at the source. Relief starts within minutes and lasts up to four hours. Considerably longer than simple antacids. Making it ideal after big meals, spicy food and late dinners, and during pregnancy heartburn on professional advice. The handy 150ml bottle is a trusted bedside and kitchen-cupboard companion for households.
Per 10ml: sodium alginate 500mg, sodium bicarbonate 213mg, calcium carbonate 325mg. Full excipient list available on product packaging.
