Gaviscon Advance Peppermint (300ml)

Product Summary

Gaviscon Advance contains double the concentration of sodium alginate compared with Gaviscon Original, thus providing the strongest Gaviscon treatment that works as a raft: it forms a thick layer on top of the stomach contents, which prevents acid from rising back up into the oesophagus (food pipe).
