Heartburn is a common condition that’s actually a symptom of acid reflux. Lots of people experience heartburn or acid reflux, and although it usually isn’t anything serious, it can be really annoying. Some of the most common symptoms of acid reflux that you may experience as well as heartburn include:
Gaviscon Chewable Tablets contain three active ingredients, sodium alginate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, and calcium carbonate. These ingredients work by acting as ‘reflux suppressants’, which means that they form a protective layer over the contents of your stomach, including stomach acid. This keeps stomach acid from moving up your food pipe and irritating its lining, tackling acid reflux symptoms at their source.
