Gavilast has a different mode of action from the other products in the Gaviscon range. This is because it is a histamine receptor blocker and works at the source of acid production so that less acid is produced by the stomach in the first place.
Gavilast offers prolonged relief from the symptoms of heartburn for up to 12 hours. This will help see you through a whole night - or day.
