The main ingredient in Gaviscon, alginic acid, works as an anti-reflux agent. It reacts with the acid found in the stomach to produce a frothy layer over the stomach contents, which then prevents reflux.
The sensitive mucosa of the oesophagus is no longer exposed to gastric acid and the pain associated with these conditions is relieved. Continued use of Gaviscon and ongoing prevention of reflux allows the damaged tissues to be repaired.
Common Uses
Used for symptomatic relief of problems caused by reflux of gastric contents: Heartburn (including heartburn of pregnancy) Dyspepsia Reflux oesophagitis Hiatus hernia.
