What It Is / How It Works
Gaviscon Peppermint Suspension contains a combination of Sodium alginate, antacids, and other soothing agents.
- Sodium alginate forms a protective “raft” on top of stomach contents

This dual action makes it effective for acid reflux treatment in Kenya and related digestive discomfort.
