Treatment Information
Overview
Gaviscon Advance is an effective formula that provides relief from heartburn (acid reflux) and indigestion. It creates a thick protective barrier on top of the stomach content to prevent acid from coming up into your oesophagus (food pipe), making it best after meal and before going to bed. The sweet aniseed flavour makes it pleasant to consume.
