Gaviscon Infant sachets are specially formulated medications designed to help manage reflux and regurgitation in babies and young children. Reflux in infants is a common condition that can happen when milk or food flows back up from the stomach into the food pipe, causing vomiting, spit up, or unsettled feeding.
Gaviscon Infant works by stabilising the stomach contents, reducing the likeliness of reflux and posseting (bringing up feeds).
