Gaviscon advance 300 ml Suspension
Antacid
The drug reacts with gastric acid to rapidly form a raft of alginic acid gel having a near-neutral pH which floats on the stomach contents effectively impeding gastro-oesophageal reflux for up to 4 hours and protecting the esophagus from acid, pepsin, and bile. Gaviscon Advance contains double the amount of Sodium Alginate than the Gaviscon, which increases its efficacy.
