How does Peptac treat heartburn symptoms?
Peptac liquid relieves heartburn and indigestion symptoms through its three main ingredients: sodium bicarbonate, sodium alginate and calcium carbonate.
Together, these three ingredients work to neutralise excess acid in your stomach. By doing so, this medicine effectively reduces and relieves symptoms such as bloatedness, flatulence, nausea and uncomfortable, burning sensations in your chest.
The liquid is easy to swallow, measure and has an aromatic aniseed flavour.
