Gaviscon Infant Sachets 1+ Years
Description
Gaviscon Infant Sachets 1+ Years is a reputable and widely recognized over-the-counter medication formulated to alleviate the discomfort associated with gastroesophageal reflux in infants and children aged 1 year and above. Gastroesophageal reflux occurs when stomach contents flow back into the esophagus, causing symptoms like regurgitation, heartburn, and irritability in infants. This specially formulated medication aims to provide relief from these distressing symptoms, promoting a more comfortable feeding and sleeping experience for both the child and the parents.
The unique aspect of Gaviscon Infant Sachets is its dual-action approach to managing reflux symptoms. It contains two active ingredients: sodium alginate and calcium carbonate. Sodium alginate, derived from seaweed, forms a protective layer on top of the stomach contents. This layer acts as a barrier, reducing the likelihood of stomach acid flowing back into the esophagus. Calcium carbonate, on the other hand, acts as an antacid by neutralizing excess stomach acid. This combination of ingredients offers a comprehensive solution to effectively manage infant reflux symptoms.
Gaviscon Infant Sachets are a trusted choice among parents and caregivers seeking a non-prescription solution to ease the discomfort caused by gastroesophageal reflux. It's important to note that Gaviscon Infant Sachets are not a cure for underlying conditions causing reflux; rather, they provide symptomatic relief to enhance the quality of life for both the child and their caregivers.
