Gaviscon Advance Suspensions contain double the concentration of sodium alginate compared with Gaviscon Original products. Gaviscon Advance Suspensions form the strongest ‘raft’ in the Gaviscon liquids range.
Gaviscon Advance forms a ‘raft’ over the stomach contents which helps prevent acid coming back up into the oesophagus (food pipe). As such it is effective at treating the classic symptoms of heartburn (a burning pain in the chest and mild acid regurgitation).
