Acid reflux and a burning sensation in the throat can strike at unexpected moments, especially after a rich meal or during pregnancy. These discomforts can hinder your daily activities and disrupt your sleep. Gaviscon Peppermint 250 chewable tablets offer practical and effective support to tackle this discomfort directly at the source.
- Forms an immediate protective layer that floats on the stomach contents to prevent acid reflux.
- Effectively relieves the burning sensation in the oesophagus and discomfort in the throat and mouth.
- Convenient chewable tablets that you can easily take anywhere without water.
- Suitable for use during pregnancy to manage reflux symptoms in a responsible manner.
How it works
The active ingredients in these chewable tablets react with stomach acid to form a strong, protective barrier. This layer acts as a physical blockade that prevents stomach contents from reaching the oesophagus. This is especially useful after eating fatty or spicy food, where pressure on the stomach increases and the chance of heartburn is greater.
