Product overview
About Gaviscon Original Peppermint
The original Gaviscon raft in its cooler flavour: sodium alginate and antacids forming a physical barrier over the stomach contents, with peppermint doing the aftertaste honours. Heartburn and indigestion relief, 250ml.
Aniseed or peppermint?
Identical medicine, honest difference in taste: aniseed is the warm, liquorice-adjacent original; peppermint finishes clean and cool, and tends to win among people who take Gaviscon at bedtime. Both build the same raft.
How to take
Adults and children 12+: 10–20ml after meals and at bedtime, up to four times daily. Shake well before use.
Good to know
Contains sodium — mention it on a restricted-salt diet or with kidney or heart disease. Persistent heartburn beyond three weeks needs a GP, not just a flavour change.

Frequently asked questions
Is peppermint different from aniseed?
Only in taste — the alginate raft and antacids are identical. Peppermint finishes cooler; aniseed is the warm original.
How does the raft work?
The alginate reacts with stomach acid to form a floating barrier that physically keeps acid off your oesophagus for hours.
Can I take it in pregnancy?
Gaviscon is one of the standard heartburn options in pregnancy — confirm with your midwife or pharmacist as usual.
