What is Gaviscon Double Action Aniseed and what is it used for?
Gaviscon Double Action Aniseed is a combination of two antacids (calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate) and an alginate and works in two ways:
1) Neutralising excess stomach acid to relieve the pain and discomfort.
2) Forming a protective barrier over the stomach contents to soothe the burning pain in your chest. Gaviscon Double Action Aniseed is used for the treatment of symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux such as acid regurgitation, heartburn and indigestion, which may occur, for example, following meals or during pregnancy and for symptoms of excess stomach acidity (hyperacidity).
