Gaviscon Advance Chewable Mint Tablets is a treatment designed to ease indigestion and heartburn. 

They are the perfect way to achieve fast indigestion and heartburn relief on the go without needing to measure out liquids or swallow with a drink.

How Gaviscon Advance Mint Chewable Tablets works

Gaviscon Advance Mint Chewable Tablets contain two active ingredients that can help ease indigestion and heartburn: sodium alginate 500mg and potassium bicarbonate 100mg. 

These ingredients form a type of treatment called reflux suppressants. They work by forming a protective layer over your stomach contents. This layer keeps excess stomach acid from irritating your food pipe and stomach lining.
