This sugar-free antacid suspension is designed to alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms of acid reflux, indigestion, and heartburn. Its soothing aniseed flavour makes it easy to take, especially after meals and before bed when reflux symptoms are most likely to occur. Each dose contains a combination of Sodium alginate, Sodium bicarbonate, and Calcium carbonate, which work together to form a physical barrier that sits on top of the stomach contents, helping to prevent acid from flowing back into the oesophagus. The product's action is local and not absorbed into the bloodstream, meaning fewer systemic side effects. Its effects typically last for three to four hours, providing reliable short-term relief. It’s especially helpful after large meals or in the evening, when reflux can interfere with sleep and digestion. Peptac Aniseed Liquid is a practical and effective solution for adults looking to manage mild to moderate gastro-oesophageal reflux with a proven formula and pleasant taste.
