Gaviscon Comp Chewable Mint 48 units

Gaviscon Mint tablets are composed of sodium alginate 250 mg + sodium bicarbonate 133.5 mg + calcium carbonate 80 mg. Gaviscon Mint belongs to a group of medications called "reflux suppressants," which form a protective layer over the stomach contents, preventing stomach acid from flowing into the esophagus, where it causes pain and discomfort. Gaviscon Mint is used to treat symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux, such as acid regurgitation, heartburn, and indigestion (related to reflux), which can occur, for example, after meals, during pregnancy, or in patients with symptoms related to inflammation of the esophagus (esophagitis) from reflux.
