Gaviscon Syp (Alginate Compound) Antacid

Description

Gaviscon Syrup (Alginate Compound) is an antacid and reflux suppressant used to relieve symptoms of heartburn, acid reflux, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It contains sodium alginate which reacts with stomach acid to form a thick, protective gel-like raft that floats on top of the stomach contents, physically preventing acid from rising into the esophagus. Unlike traditional antacids, it works mechanically rather than systemically, providing rapid and prolonged relief without significantly altering stomach acid levels. It is safe for use in adults, children, and pregnant women, making it a widely preferred choice for acid-related digestive discomfort.
