Product overview
Gaviscon Original Aniseed Liquid goes to work instantly by utilizing Sodium Alginate to form a strong, protective physical raft over the stomach contents. This raft helps to stop acid from escaping back up into the food pipe (oesophagus), effectively stopping the burning sensation of reflux in its tracks. Whether you're focused on enjoying your favourite rich meals without fear of flare-ups or trying to get a peaceful night's sleep, this product is designed to offer a powerful, long-lasting solution that doesn't rely on entering your bloodstream.
Each serving provides a clinically proven protective barrier, with a formula created for rapid symptom relief, targeted action, and up to 4 hours of comfort.

Frequently asked questions
How does Gaviscon Original differ from standard antacids?
While standard antacids only neutralize the acid in your stomach, Gaviscon Original contains an alginate that forms a physical gel raft over the stomach contents. This raft acts as a lid to physically prevent acid from travelling back up your oesophagus (food pipe).
Can I take this medication if I am pregnant?
Yes, Gaviscon products are widely used during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as they work locally in the stomach rather than entering the bloodstream. However, you should always consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medication while pregnant.
How long does the relief last?
Because of the unique alginate raft that sits on top of the stomach contents, Gaviscon Original can provide soothing relief that lasts for up to 4 hours, which is longer than many traditional antacids.
Can I take this with other medications?
Antacids can affect how well other medicines work. You should leave a gap of at least 2 hours between taking Gaviscon and taking other medications by mouth to ensure they are absorbed properly.
