GAVISCON Syrup is effective in providing fast relief from acid-related discomfort and can be a useful solution for those experiencing occasional heartburn or reflux. For any long-term symptoms or if you're unsure about its suitability, consult with a healthcare professional.
GAVISCON Syrup 200ml is an over-the-counter medication commonly used to treat heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion. It works by forming a protective barrier on top of the stomach contents, preventing acid from rising into the esophagus and thus relieving discomfort.
