Know your heartburn

Gaviscon Double Action gets to work fast, so you can banish heartburn and indigestion and reclaim your day

If you’ve ever experienced heartburn, you’ll be all too familiar with its unpleasant symptoms – that burning sensation in your chest, feeling bloated or nauseous and sometimes a hoarse cough that keeps coming back. As a form of indigestion, which happens when your body struggles to process food properly, heartburn may be difficult to avoid and can stop you from enjoying a range of daily activities.

Fortunately, Gaviscon Double Action combats both heartburn and indigestion for up to four hours, so you don’t have to miss out. It works in two main ways – by neutralising excess acid in your stomach and by forming a protective barrier to prevent acid reflux (when excess stomach acid travels back up your oesophagus). What’s more, while some heartburn medicines can take up to two or even three days to work, Gaviscon Double Action gets to work instantly and lasts up to twice as long as other antacids, which can make it a more effective and convenient choice*.
