What is this medicine and what is it used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGaviscon Advance Peppermint flavour Oral Suspension belongs to a group of medicines called 'reflux suppressants. This product forms a protective layer that floats on top of the stomach contents. This layer prevents reflux and keeps the stomach contents away from the lining of the food pipe to relieve the symptoms of heartburn and acid indigestion. It can also be used to relieve the symptoms of conditions such as hiatus hernia (protrusion of muscle through a muscle wall), reflux oesophagitis (inflamed food pipe) and symptoms of hoarseness and other voice disorders, sore throat and cough associated with reflux. It can also be taken to control heartburn symptoms which may occur when taking, or following withdrawal of, medication to reduce stomach acid such as Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI's) or H2 Antagonists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.
