Description
Gaviscon Peppermint Tablets are circular tablets with an off white to cream, slightly mottled appearance.
This medicine is used for the treatment of symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux such as acid regurgitation, heartburn and indigestion (related to reflux), for example, following meals or during pregnancy, and in patients with symptoms related to oesophagitis.
They work in 2 ways: a combination of two antacids to neutralise excess stomach acid, and an alginate which forms a protective layer that floats on top of the stomach contents, keeping it away from the lining of the food pipe.
Adults and children over 12 years.
Can be used during pregnancy or breast-feeding.
Children under 12 years: should only be given on medical advice.
