Gaviscon (R) Regular Strength Liquid provides fast relief from heartburn and acid reflux that lasts for hours. Feel Gaviscon (R)'s foaming action start to work as soon as you take it. Doctor recommended Gaviscon (R) is free from sugar, lactose and gluten. Fruit Blend flavour; 600 ml. Gaviscon Tablets and Liquid contain two different types of medicinal ingredients. The first type (Agenic Acid/Sodium Alginate) triggers the foaming action you can feel when you chew the tablets. (Liquid Gaviscon foam is activated when it comes into contact with stomach acid.) Once swallowed, the foam builds a protective barrier between the top of your stomach and your esophagus (throat). This barrier prevents stomach acid from splashing back up (refluxing) into your esophagus, essentially performing the function of your Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES). Blocking acid reflux, in turn, prevents the painful sensation of heartburn. The second medicinal ingredient type (Magnesium Carbonate/Calcium Carbonate/Aluminum Hydroxide) provides heartburn relief by neutralizing excess acid in the stomach.

A FANTASTIC product.
I have GERD and without this product, my nightimes would be awful with near constant heartburn. THis product COMPLETELY stops that. However, you should be warned. This product is only effective for 4 hours. Even the manufacturer says that. So if you want to protect yourself ALL night - you need to take a second dose after 4 hours. It's a drag - but it's better than having your throat/chest burn while you sleep. I just wish the product wa a bit cheaper as I go through a LOT of it and the price can add up. It probably costs me about $40 per month. But I am probably the exception. But it is a small price to pay for a sound sleep.

Por quality from a product I have used often
I have used Gaviscon for many years and have ordered from Amazon.ca in the past without any issues. This time I was very disappointed. The quality was just not what I have come to expect. In the past I have found the liquid to be smooth and consistent. This time not so. The liguid was both grainy and watery. It is like it was improperly mixed and separated. No matter how much I shook it, it remained gritty and watery. Very dissapointed.

Texture changes when delivered in the Winter.
I order this monthly. In our cold Canadian Winters the product can freeze and once it thaws inside the consistency is chunky and gross. The trick is to put it in the blender and blend it until it's smooth again. That seems to work.

Wish I knew before I opened ...
I thought this was a smooth liquid. It is NOT. It is a liquid that has a granular like texture. Very disturbing. I've only ever bought the chewable tables and though I'd try this - I think Gaviscon should advise. This may be a "soothing fruit blend" but it is not a smooth liquid. Which begs me to wonder why would they do this ??!!.. Irritated in Canada

I had to throw it out
When I opened the bottle it had the consistency of sour milk . I was not sure why it was like this as I have been using this product for years and had never seen this before . Shaking it did not help so I threw it out as I was not sure it was safe to use and did not think that I could return the item as I had opened it . Hopefully this was just a one off .
