Delivery Information
Gastrocote Liquid contains a dual action formula that eases the discomfort of indigestion and heartburn by relieving the symptoms and reducing the level of acid in the stomach, neutralising it and protecting the lining from it.

  • 500ml suspension.
  • Mint and butterscotch flavour.
  • Soothes the discomfort of heartburn and indigestion.
  • Eases symptoms such as bloating, burping, burning and nausea.
  • Suitable for use in children over 6 years old.
  • Safe for pregnant women.
  • Also available in a smaller, more convenient 150ml bottle.

    Gastrocote has a dual action formula that contains a combination of antacids and an alginate to soothe and relieve both heartburn and indigestion. Both have different yet effective effects on the GI tract, the gastrointestinal tract. The alginate forms a raft that reduces the reflux of stomach acid into the oesophagus. The raft also coats the lining of the oesophagus, protecting it from the stomach acid. Antacids neutralise the stomach acids.

    An effective solution to these problematic conditions; Gastrocote treats a range of symptoms associated with excess stomach acid including:
    • Heartburn - A burning sensation in the chest or throat area when stomach acid escapes.
    • Heartburn in pregnancy - Common in pregnant women.
    • Reflux oesophagitis - Inflammation of the oesophagus lining due to irritation from stomach acid.
    • Gastric reflux or regurgitation - A bitter or sour taste in the mouth.
    • Acid indigestion - Any pain of discomfort in the stomach area, accompanied by bloating, belching or nausea due to excess stomach acid.
    Please note: While pains in the chest are usually due to heartburn and indigestion, they could also be a symptom of something more serious, such as heart problems. If in doubt, please seek medical advice and contact your local pharmacist/GP.
