Gaviscon Peppermint Chewable Tablets

Gaviscon Peppermint Chewable Tablets bring fast, soothing and long-lasting relief from heartburn and indigestion which lasts up to twice as long as antacids.

They work by forming a protective layer that floats on top of the stomach contents. This layer prevents reflux and keeps the stomach contents away from the lining of the food pipe to relieve the symptoms of heartburn and indigestion.

DOSAGE  For Oral use.

• Consult your doctor if you are over 40 years and have never suffered with heartburn or acid indigestion before.
• Always talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medicine during pregnancy, if you are taking any other prescription medications, regular medicines or receiving regular treatment.
