It can be used to treat gastric reflux (a condition in which the acid stomach contents flow upwards into the foodpipe) and flatulence caused by gastric reflux. It belongs to a group of medicines called 'reflux suppressants'.

Gaviscon Original Aniseed contains three active ingredients which work together as reflux suppressants. These ingredients are sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium carbonate, and they form a protective layer on top of your stomach acid. This keeps your excess stomach acid from working upwards into your food pipe and causing irritation and heartburn.

Heartburn is a common symptom that lots of people deal with at one point or another, and it’s caused by acid reflux.

Some of the other symptoms you may experience if you have acid reflux include:

A sore throat, bad breath, an unpleasant taste in the mouth, bloating and feeling sick.
