Gaviscon Heartburn and Indigestion Tablets, Double Action, Mint Flavour, Pack of 48

Product Information

A growing baby bump puts pressure on your system, and makes refluxing acid a very common reality of pregnant life. But do not take other painkillers, like ibuprofen or aspirin, with Gaviscon without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first. Gaviscon Double Action is the best-selling product in the Gaviscon family 3, and it is effective in providing relief from heartburn and indigestion.

As with other antacid products, taking this product can mask the symptoms of other more serious, underlying medical conditions. In severe cases the raft itself may be refluxed into the oesophagus, in preference to the stomach contents, and exert a demulcent effect.

Gaviscon Double Action contains calcium carbonate and its unique formulation helps provide effective relief that is up to x2 longer than regular antacids*. This is a medicine; Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have an underlying medical condition, are taking any other medication or complementary therapy, or if symptoms persist. If you've bought Gaviscon without a prescription, do not take it for longer than 7 days without checking with a doctor. Doctors can only prescribe some kinds of Gaviscon, not the full range available from pharmacies and supermarkets.

This effect is increased by the addition of sodium bicarbonate which also has a neutralising action. No effects of the active substances have been shown in breastfed newborns/infants of treated mothers.Frequencies are defined as: Very common (≥1/10); Common (≥1/100 and <1/10); Uncommon (≥1/1000 and <1/100); Rare (≥1/10,000 and <1/1000); Very rare (< 1/10,000); Not known (cannot be estimated from the available data). Stopping suddenly may mean that the acid stomach contents come up into your food pipe and make your symptoms come back. Pharmacotherapeutic classification: A02BX, other drugs for peptic ulcer and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.

Gaviscon’s liquid formulation does not contain sugar or gluten and you can take this product if you are pregnant or breast-feeding while benefiting from dual relief from heartburn and indigestion. Sometimes, if Gaviscon does not work or agree with you, your doctor or pharmacist may suggest another reflux suppressant. The raft floats on the stomach contents effectively impeding gastro-oesophageal reflux, for up to 4 hours, and protecting the oesophagus from acid, pepsin and bile. Adults and children over 12 years: When symptoms occur take two to four tablets after meals and at bedtime, up to four times a day.
