Gaviscon, mint 48 pcs.

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

The antacid drug. After ingestion, the drug quickly interacts with the acidic contents of the stomach. It forms alginate gel which has almost neutral pH value.

The gel forms a protective barrier on the surface of the stomach contents preventing the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux for up to 4 hours. In the case of regurgitation, the gel is more likely to enter the esophagus, where it reduces mucosal irritation.

The reduction of esophageal mucosal irritation is felt 3-4 minutes after taking the drug.
