Gaviscon Advance Aniseed flavour Oral Suspension belongs to a group of medicines called 'reflux suppressants'. This product forms a protective layer that floats on top of the stomach contents.

It can also be used to relieve the symptoms of conditions such as hiatus hernia (protrusion of muscle through a muscle wall), reflux oesophagitis (inflamed food pipe) and symptoms of hoarseness and other voice disorders, sore throat and cough associated with reflux. It can also be taken to control heartbum symptoms which may occur when taking, or following withdrawal of, medication to reduce stomach acid such as Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI's) or H2 Antagonists. Contents of the pack and other information Each 10 ml of oral suspension contains 1000 mg sodium alginate and 200 mg potassium hydrogen carbonate as the active ingredients.

Review: Massive price increase - Gaviscon Advance is marvellous stuff, controls my reflux brilliantly, recommended by my doctor. However, the price has shot up from £8 to £12....NOT HAPPY. Review: Gaviscon Advance Aniseed meets expectations - Gaviscon Advance Aniseed Flavor turned my relapse symptoms of Respiratory Reflux around quickly. And saved me from going back to the doctor for medicines that weren’t very helpful. The GA allowed quick healing after I cut out the trigger foods, continued upper body elevation at night, and refraining from eating for 4 hours before lying down. I don’t know that GA would be so effective without the modifications. Even with my sensitive gag reflex, I have been able to take GA without difficulty. I don’t like the flavor and thick texture, but I tolerate it well and am getting accustomed to it. I ordered from the USA since it is not sold here, and have found it to be worth all the expense. ## Features - EXTRA STRENGHT FORMULA - Gaviscon Advance has double the concentration of sodium alginate of Gaviscon Original; This raft forms a protective barrier over the stomach contents to help soothe the burning sensation in your chest - GETS TO WORK INSTANTLY - Gaviscon Advance formulation gets to work in seconds to create a protective barrier that lasts up to 4 hours - SUITABLE FOR USE IN PREGNANCY - Gaviscon products are suitable for use during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding; Medicines can affect the unborn child, always speak to doctor or pharmacist before using medicines in pregnancy - 40 YEARS OF GAVISCON - For over 40 years, Gaviscon has helped to provide people with fast, effective heartburn and indigestion relief ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DX2GZCY4 | | Benefits | Acidity Relief | | Best Sellers Rank | 824 in Health & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Health & Personal Care ) 16 in Antacids | | Brand | Gaviscon | | Brand Name | Gaviscon | | Country Of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 595 Reviews | | Diet Type | Gluten Free | | Flavour | Aniseed | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item form | Liquid | | Manufacturer | Reckitt Benckiser | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Manufacturer and Product Licence holder in the UK: Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare (UK) Ltd., Hull, HU8 7DS. | | Net Content Count | 1 Bottle | | Product benefits | Acidity Relief | | Special Features | Fast-Acting, Long-Lasting, Targeted | | Specific Uses For Product | Heartburn | | Specific uses for product | Heartburn | | Unit Count | 250.0 millilitre | | Unit count | 250.0 millilitre | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gaviscon - **Flavour:** Aniseed - **Item form:** Liquid - **Net content count:** 1 Bottle - **Product benefits:** Acidity Relief - **Special feature:** Fast-Acting, Long-Lasting, Targeted - **Specific uses for product:** Heartburn - **Unit count:** 250.0 millilitre ## Images ![Gaviscon Advance Aniseed Flavour Liquid, 250ml - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GvOacLKaL.jpg) ![Gaviscon Advance Aniseed Flavour Liquid, 250ml - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nFNs+LtcL.jpg) ![Gaviscon Advance Aniseed Flavour Liquid, 250ml - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VWVThnxbL.jpg) ![Gaviscon Advance Aniseed Flavour Liquid, 250ml - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-YazagEFL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is Gaviscon Advance suitable for pregnancy?** A: Gaviscon Advance is suitable for you if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and it's lower in sodium.
