Gaviscon Advance Mint Chewable Tablets - 24 Tablets

Gaviscon Advance Mint Chewable Tablets 24 are specially formulated chewable antacid tablets designed to provide rapid and long-lasting relief from the discomfort of heartburn, acid reflux and indigestion. These extra strength tablets contain a high concentration of sodium alginate and potassium bicarbonate, which work together to form a protective gel “raft” on top of stomach contents, helping to prevent acid rising into the oesophagus and soothing irritation at the source of symptoms.

This convenient, portable format is ideal for on-the-go relief after meals, at bedtime, or whenever symptoms occur. The pleasant mint flavour makes them easy to take without water. Gaviscon Advance is a trusted UK over-the-counter brand in digestive care with a long history of effective symptom soothing.
