Struggling with the disruptive discomfort of a burning chest or acid rising in your throat? Gaviscon Advance offers a powerful solution for effective relief from the symptoms of acid reflux, allowing you to enjoy life without interruption.
Its unique, extra-strength formulation provides twice the concentration of sodium alginate compared to Gaviscon Peppermint, creating a strong and resilient protective barrier against stomach acid. This barrier, or 'raft', stops acid from flowing back into the oesophagus (food pipe), tackling the problem at its source.
Why Choose Gaviscon Advance?
-
EXTRA STRENGTH & LONG-LASTING: Forms a robust protective raft on top of stomach contents to prevent reflux. Its unique mucoadhesion properties also coat and soothe the oesophagus for prolonged comfort.
-
SAFE FOR PREGNANCY & BREASTFEEDING: With the lowest sodium content in the Gaviscon range and a formulation that doesn't enter the bloodstream, it's our recommended solution for expectant and nursing mothers.
-
TARGETS KEY SYMPTOMS: Effectively relieves common acid reflux symptoms, including:
-
A burning sensation in your chest (Heartburn)
-
Difficulty swallowing
-
Regurgitation or fluid in the back of your throat
-
-
DIET-FRIENDLY: This liquid formula is sugar-free and gluten-free.
How It Works: Gaviscon Advance’s power comes from sodium alginate, an active ingredient naturally extracted from seaweed. When it comes into contact with stomach acid, it forms a thick, gel-like layer that floats on top of the stomach contents. This physical barrier effectively stops acid from escaping upwards, providing you with immediate and lasting relief.
