How Gaviscon Extra Strength Fruit Blast Works
Mechanism of Action
Gaviscon Extra Strength utilizes a unique dual-action formula. The antacid component neutralizes stomach acid, while the alginate, a key ingredient, reacts with stomach acid to form a foam raft. This raft floats on top of the stomach contents, physically blocking acid from backing up into the esophagus and causing heartburn.
Benefits of Use
- Relieves heartburn and acid indigestion.
- Soothes the burning sensation in the chest.
- Reduces the frequency of acid reflux.
- Provides day and night relief.
