Gaviscon, mint 12 pcs.

Geviscon® enters the stomach and interacts with its contents, forming a protective barrier (raft) that prevents the occurrence of heartburn.

Ingestion Gaviscon® quickly reacts with the acidic contents of the stomach. This produces an alginate gel which has an almost neutral pH value.
