GAVISCON ORIGINAL ANISEED 600ML

Gaviscon Original Aniseed Relief is an over-the-counter medication primarily designed to provide relief from symptoms associated with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other related conditions. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Action Mechanism: Gaviscon Original Aniseed Relief contains ingredients like sodium alginate and bicarbonate, which form a protective "raft" that floats on the stomach contents. This raft acts as a barrier, preventing stomach acid from flowing back up into the esophagus, which can cause discomfort and inflammation. Uses: Acid Regurgitation: This is where stomach acid and undigested food flow back up into the esophagus, causing a sour or bitter taste in the mouth. Heartburn: A burning sensation in the chest, usually after eating, which might be worse at night. Indigestion: General discomfort in the stomach, including bloating, belching, and sometimes pain. Symptoms during Pregnancy: Pregnancy can increase the risk of experiencing GERD symptoms due to the hormone progesterone causing the valve between the stomach and the esophagus to relax, allowing stomach acid to escape. Plus, the growing baby can push on the stomach, forcing acid upwards.
