Product overview
About Gaviscon Advance Peppermint
The extra-strength reflux raft, in its classic mint coat: Gaviscon Advance carries double the sodium alginate of standard Gaviscon, building a stronger, longer-lasting barrier over your stomach contents that physically stops acid reflux, heartburn and indigestion — with peppermint's clean finish. 250ml oral suspension.
The raft, explained
Alginate meets stomach acid and sets into a floating gel raft at the top of the stomach — a physical cork where reflux escapes. Nothing is absorbed; nothing is drowsy; it simply blocks the acid's exit route. Advance's double concentration means a 5–10ml dose does what 10–20ml of standard does, and holds longer overnight.
How to take
Adults and children 12+: 5–10ml after meals and at bedtime, up to four times daily. Shake well. Suitable in pregnancy and breastfeeding — confirm with your midwife or pharmacist.
Good to know
Contains sodium and potassium: flag it with your pharmacist if you're on a low-salt diet or have kidney or heart conditions. Heartburn most days for 3+ weeks, swallowing difficulty or weight loss — that's a GP visit, not a bigger bottle.

Frequently asked questions
Peppermint or aniseed — any difference?
Flavour only — identical actives and strength. Peppermint is the traditional Gaviscon taste; aniseed is the change of scenery.
How is Advance stronger?
Double the sodium alginate per ml — a denser raft from a smaller dose (5–10ml), which particularly helps reflux that breaks through overnight.
Can I take it alongside other medicines?
Leave 2 hours between Gaviscon and other medicines — the raft can slow their absorption. Your pharmacist can map out timings.
