Gaviscon is a well-known antacid brand used for the relief of heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion.
The original alginate formulation was developed by Swedish researcher Adolf Ferrand in collaboration with the Swedish pharmaceutical company Ferrosan in the 1960s. The brand rights were subsequently commercialized internationally; in Europe and most global markets, the brand is owned by Reckitt Benckiser (Reckitt), a multinational consumer health and hygiene company headquartered in Slough, United Kingdom (notably, in the United States and Canada, GlaxoSmithKline/Haleon owns certain regional rights to the Gaviscon name).
Gaviscon liquid and sachet formulations distributed in European markets, including the UK and Scandinavia, are predominantly manufactured at Reckitt's healthcare manufacturing facility in Hull, United Kingdom.
