Indications 

Gaviscon Liquid Fruit is a product that provides relief from symptoms such as heartburn, sour stomach, acid indigestion, and upset stomach. It works by providing relief from symptoms of heartburn, acid indigestion, sour stomach, and upset stomach. It contains antacid ingredients that help neutralize excess stomach acid.  

When taken orally, Gaviscon Liquid Fruit forms a protective layer on top of the stomach contents, preventing stomach acid from escaping up into the food pipe (esophagus). This can help alleviate the burning sensation and discomfort associated with heartburn and acid reflux. Gaviscon Liquid Fruit is designed to provide fast-acting and long-lasting relief, helping to keep acid down for hours.
