Gaviscon Liquid helps relieve the burning pain of heartburn and the discomfort of indigestion - helps protect inflamed oesophageal tissue - helps prevent further inflammation by forming a physical barrier to reflux.
The alginate "raft" helps keep gastric contents in place, thereby reducing the likelihood of these irritating the delicate lining of the oesophagus.
