Gaviscon Infant helps to prevent gastric regurgitation in infants
Gaviscon Infant is a powder for oral suspension. Each dose contains 225mg sodium alginate and 87.5mg magnesium alginate. It belongs to a group of medicines called “reflux suppressants”.
Reflux is the process by which the stomach contents flow back up the tube that leads from the mouth to the stomach (knows as the food pipe or oesophagus). This can cause an infant to be sick, spit up more than normal and become distressed.
Gaviscon Infant prevents reflux by stabilising the stomach contents, so reducing the incidence of reflux and bringing up feeds (posseting).
How to use :
Always use Gaviscon Infant exactly as described in the patient information leaflet. Open the sachet and mix the contents immediately before use can be used for both breast fed and bottle fed infants aged 1-2 years
