Gaviscon Infant Sachets provide fast, soothing and long-lasting relief from the pain and discomfort of heartburn and acid indigestion for your children. It is a popular over-the-counter medicine for treating gastric reflux.
Gastric Reflux is most likely caused by certain foods and drinks. However, it can be a symptom of other conditions as well as a side effect from certain medications.
Gaviscon infant sachets are an oral powder which is suitable for children ages 1 to 2. It contains two main ingredients, sodium alginate and magnesium alginate. Both of these are known reflux suppressants.
These form a gel in the stomach when they come in contact with the stomach acid. This causes stomach contents to thicken and prevents reflux.
Gavison Infant Sachets should only be used for infants aged 1-2 years. You should not use this product if your child is allergic to any of the ingredients. Do not use if you're using a thickening agent for feeding. If your infant is taking medication, please consult a doctor or healthcare provider before using Gavison Infant Sachets.

Gaviscon Infant 30 Sachets
Gaviscon Infant for effective treatment of regurgitation/reflux in infants and children.
Gaviscon Infant is suitable for both breast and formula-fed babies alongside existing feed. Easy to use sachets can be mixed with water or milk feed, during or after a feed.
Gaviscon Infant is a powder for oral administration. Each sachet contains one dose. Prepare immediately before use, as directed on pack. Do not give more than six times in 24 hours. Gaviscon Infant is not to be used in infants under 1 year of age, except under medical supervision. Always read the label.
Infant reflux is a common condition that affects 50% of babies in their first three months.
Infant reflux mainly occurs in babies as they have an underdeveloped valve between food pipe and stomach.
Infant reflux typically occurs after feeds in the form of regurgitation but can also give rise to other troublesome symptoms.
Excessive crying often after a feed
Difficulty keeping feeds down
Sometimes arching the back after a feed
Gaviscon Infant works by thickening the contents of the stomach.
This helps to stop the stomach contents escaping into the food pipe and therefore helps to control reflux symptoms.
Gaviscon Infant works in a physical, non-systemic way meaning it is not absorbed into the baby bloodstream to work.
Gaviscon Infant can be used with both breast and formula fed infants alongside their normal feed.
Sachets can be mixed with water or milk feed and given during or after the feed.
If you find a spoon isn’t working, you can try using a pipette when feeding.
