Gaviscon Peppermint Liquid Relief Oral Suspension

Gaviscon is a widely recognized brand of antacid and reflux suppressant used to treat heartburn and indigestion. The brand's history began in the 1960s when it was developed by a Swedish company, but it was later acquired and extensively developed by Reckitt Benckiser (now known as Reckitt).

The product functions by forming a protective 'raft' or barrier on top of the stomach contents to prevent acid from rising into the oesophagus. While the brand has global reach, a significant portion of its manufacturing for the European and Commonwealth markets takes place in Hull, United Kingdom, which remains a primary hub for Reckitt’s pharmaceutical production.

Today, Gaviscon is owned by Reckitt Benckiser Group plc, a British multinational consumer goods company headquartered in Slough, England. Reckitt is a major global player in health, hygiene, and nutrition, owning other famous brands like Dettol, Lysol, and Nurofen. The brand continues to be a market leader in the gastrointestinal health category worldwide.
