Gaviscon Liquid – Soothing Relief for Acid Reflux, Heartburn and Indigestion

Are you struggling with heartburn and looking for effective relief? Gaviscon Liquid is your go-to remedy for preventing acid reflux and alleviating symptoms at the source. Available in both aniseed and peppermint flavours, this liquid offers comfort tailored to your taste. use this product to get relief for heartburn.

Understanding Heartburn:
Heartburn, a common symptom arising from acid reflux, occurs when stomach acid moves up into the food pipe or oesophagus. This irritates the delicate lining and leads to discomfort. Symptoms may include a sore throat, bad breath, an unpleasant taste in the mouth, cough, hiccoughs, hoarse voice, bloating, and nausea.
