Product Information
Gaviscon Infant mixes with and stabilises the stomach contents so preventing reflux and regurgitation.
Regurgitation (of the stomach contents) in babies and infants is quite common. Some babies are particularly susceptible especially if they are very hungry prior to a feed or swallow more air than normal during a feed. If your baby is suffering complications caused by reflux, consider Gaviscon Infant sachets.
Gaviscon Infant contains two naturally found active ingredients called Alginates which act locally in the stomach to physically prevent the contents of the stomach from flowing back into the oesophagus (food pipe) and being regurgitated.
Each dose of powder contains:
Sodium Alginate 225mg, Magnesium Alginate 87.5mg
Also contains Mannitol and is sugar free. Each sachet contains approximately 21mg of Sodium.
