Gaviscon Advance Peppermint Flavor Oral Suspension

Gaviscon is a globally recognized treatment for heartburn and acid reflux, particularly famous for its 'liquid raft' technology which creates a protective barrier on top of stomach contents. The brand has its roots in the United Kingdom, where it was originally developed and launched. Today, it remains a flagship product for Reckitt Benckiser, with a significant portion of its global production still occurring in Hull, UK, though regional manufacturing plants exist in other territories to serve local markets.

The history of the brand is closely tied to the British pharmaceutical industry. It was originally manufactured by Reckitt & Colman (now Reckitt), an Anglo-Dutch multinational consumer goods company. As of 2024 and beyond, the brand is firmly under the ownership of Reckitt (formerly Reckitt Benckiser), one of the largest producers of health and hygiene products in the world. The brand's prominence in the UK market is highlighted by the 'P' classification seen on labels, indicating it is a Pharmacy-only product in that region.
