Suffering from a burning sensation in the chest area or acid reflux after a large meal? These discomforts can significantly disrupt your daily routine and make you feel uneasy, especially when you are trying to relax or go to sleep. Gaviscon Duo offers responsible support by tackling the causes of stomach acid complaints in two ways, so you can enjoy your day with peace of mind.
- Dual action neutralises excess stomach acid and simultaneously forms a protective layer for a complete approach to symptoms.
- Fast-acting relief from the burning sensation in the chest area, so you experience less discomfort after eating.
- Long-lasting protection that lasts for up to 4 hours by forming a barrier over the stomach contents.
- Convenient sachets for accurate dosing and ease, also for on the go or before bedtime.
How it works
As your trusted health partner, VitAdvice offers products that combine scientifically proven ingredients. Gaviscon Duo works via a physical mechanism: the alginate forms a floating barrier on the stomach contents, which prevents acid from flowing back into the oesophagus. At the same time, the antacids present neutralise the stomach acid, which directly contributes to reducing pain and indigestion.
