Gaviscon Advance forms 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 the heartburn and acid indigestion. Reflux is a process in which the stomach acid juices flow back up into the food pipe. Unlike the stomach, the lining of the food pipe is not resistant to acid so that when reflux occurs, it causes the pain and discomfort commonly known as heartburn.
Indications:
- Relief of heartburn and acid indigestion (also known as dyspepsia)
- Relief of symptoms of conditions eg, hiatus hernia and reflux oesophagitis (inflamed food pipe), including symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux such as hoarseness and other voice disorders, sore throats and cough
- Treat symptoms of gastrooesophageal reflux during concomitant treatment with or following withdrawal of acid suppressing therapy
