Gaviscon Infant Sachets 30s

Description

Gaviscon Infant Powder for Oral Suspension mixes with and stabilises the stomach contents to prevent reflux and regurgitation. This Infant Powder is specially designed for little tummies and comes in convenient sachets for easy dose control. The regurgitation and reflux powder thickens stomach contents to make it harder for liquid to come up the food pipe, reducing the number of times a baby brings up milk by nearly two thirds.
Gaviscon Infant Reflux and Regurgitation Powder is sugar free.
Not suitable for infants under 1 year of age.
