Gaviscon Liquid

Gaviscon is a long-standing brand of antacid and acid reflux medication that was originally developed in the United Kingdom during the mid-20th century. The product shown, recognizable by its distinct purple and blue branding, is manufactured by Reckitt Benckiser Health Healthcare (UK) Ltd. in Hull, England, as indicated by the label details referring to its UK export distribution.

Historically, Gaviscon was formulated to create a protective barrier, or 'raft', on top of the stomach contents to prevent acid from rising into the esophagus. The brand is now part of the extensive portfolio of Reckitt (formerly Reckitt Benckiser), a British multinational consumer goods company. Reckitt remains the ultimate owner and global headquarters, overseeing the production and distribution of Gaviscon across international markets, often through local subsidiaries like RB Health Malaysia and RB Health Singapore as mentioned on this specific bottle's labeling.
