Information
Gaviscon Advance Mint Chewable Tablets belong to a group of medicines called ‘reflux suppressants’, which form a protective layer on top of the stomach contents to prevent stomach acid escaping from the stomach where it works into the food pipe causing pain and discomfort.
Gaviscon Advance Mint Chewable Tablets are used for the treatment of symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux such as acid regurgitation, heartburn and indigestion, which may occur, for example, following meals or during pregnancy, and in patients with symptoms related to oesophagitis. It can also be used to relieve the symptoms of conditions such as hiatus hernia (protrusion of muscle through a muscle wall), symptoms of hoarseness and other voice disorders, sore throat and cough associated with reflux. It can be taken to control heartburn symptoms which may occur while taking, or following withdrawal of medication to reduce stomach acid such as Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI’s) or H2 Antagonists.
