Gaviscon Liquid Peppermint 500mL is a fast-acting, clinically trusted formulation designed to relieve the symptoms of heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion. Using a unique alginate-based mechanism, it forms a protective barrier that floats on top of stomach contents, preventing acid from flowing back into the oesophagus. This creates a soothing, physical shield that provides long-lasting relief from burning discomfort and regurgitation.

The refreshing peppermint flavour offers a pleasant, cooling taste while the liquid formula works quickly, making it ideal for post-meal or nighttime use. Suitable for adults and children over 12 years, Gaviscon Liquid Peppermint is gentle on the stomach and can be used in a variety of situations where indigestion or acid reflux may occur.

The large 500mL size is ideal for households seeking an economical, long-lasting supply of trusted reflux relief. Whether used occasionally or as recommended for recurring symptoms, this product provides reliable, soothing comfort backed by decades of antacid expertise.
