Gaviscon is a globally recognized medicine used for the relief of heartburn and acid indigestion. The brand was originally developed in the United Kingdom during the 1960s. It operates by creating a protective physical barrier, or 'raft', on top of the stomach contents to prevent acid from rising into the esophagus.
Historically, the brand was a core product of the British pharmaceutical company Reckitt & Colman (now Reckitt). While the liquid products are frequently manufactured at the company's major pharmaceutical facility in Hull, United Kingdom, regional distribution for markets like Australia may involve various production sites to meet local demand.
Today, Gaviscon is owned by Reckitt Benckiser Group plc (trading as Reckitt), a British multinational consumer goods giant headquartered in Slough, England. Reckitt remains the ultimate owner of the brand worldwide, managing it within its Health business unit.
