Gaviscon® Strawberry Chewable Tablets, 48 ST

This medicine belongs to the group of medicines known as "reflux suppressants", which form a protective barrier over the stomach contents. This prevents the stomach acid needed in the stomach from rising into the oesophagus and causing pain and discomfort.

Gaviscon Strawberry Chewable Tablets are used to treat symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux such as acid regurgitation, heartburn and indigestion (due to reflux), which can occur after meals or during pregnancy, for example, or in patients with symptoms associated with oesophagitis.

If you do not feel better or even worse after 7 days, consult your doctor.

Reflux symptoms? Heartburn? Acid reflux?

Gaviscon works noticeably differently!

• Purely physical principle of action, mechanical reflux barrier
• Very good tolerability*
• With a pleasant strawberry flavour

*Can be used during pregnancy.

Treatment of symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux such as heartburn, acid regurgitation and indigestion (associated with reflux), e.g. after meals or during pregnancy or in patients with symptoms associated with reflux oesophagitis.

When aggressive stomach acid rises unhindered into the oesophagus, heartburn and stomach pressure are the typical consequences. With Gaviscon you can quickly get these symptoms under control. The unique protective barrier is based on the main plant-based active ingredient alginate - an extract from brown algae. Alginate reacts with stomach acid and forms a protective barrier that covers the stomach contents like a lid. This physically prevents the further reflux of stomach acid into the oesophagus - heartburn and acid regurgitation are alleviated.

Gaviscon contains vegetable alginate and thus forms an extra strong protective barrier against acid regurgitation. It is therefore particularly suitable for use with severe symptoms, e.g. during pregnancy or with nocturnal reflux.
