How Gaviscon Dual Action works

Gaviscon Dual Action works in two different ways to effectively relieve the symptoms of heartburn and indigestion:

1. 1- The antacid the antacid in Gaviscon Dual Action neutralises excess stomach acid to relieve the pain and discomfort of indigestion.

1. 2- The raft the sodium alginate in Gaviscon Dual Action forms a thick layer (think of it like a raft) on top of your stomach contents. The raft then acts as a physical barrier that helps keep your stomach contents where they belong in your stomach and not in your food pipe where they can cause discomfort and burning pain.
