Features

• Format: Easy-to-swallow liquid oral suspension
• Volume: 150ml bottle (provides approximately 15 adult doses)
• Flavour: Refreshing, cooling mint flavour
• Key Actives: Contains a precise blend of Sodium Alginate, Sodium Bicarbonate, and Calcium Carbonate
• Action Profile: Non-systemic action (works locally in the gastrointestinal tract rather than entering the bloodstream)
• Safety Profile: Sugar-free and gluten-free formulation
• Packaging: Secure, tightly sealed bottle with a child-resistant cap

• Dual-Action Heartburn Remedy: Combines two distinct mechanisms of action. It quickly neutralises excess stomach acid to ease discomfort while simultaneously forming a protective "raft" over stomach contents to block acid from escaping into the food pipe.
• Fast-Acting Acid Reflux Relief: Engineered to get to work instantly. The liquid formulation coats the oesophagus on its way down, providing immediate comfort and beginning to soothe burning sensations within just 3 minutes of consumption.
• Long-Lasting Indigestion Treatment: Unlike standard antacids that offer only brief respite, the physical alginate barrier created by this Gaviscon Double Action oral suspension lasts for up to 4 hours, ensuring sustained relief even after large meals.
• Prevents Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux: The hero ingredient, sodium alginate, reacts with stomach acid to form a thick gel. This gel acts as a physical lid on the stomach, actively preventing acidic contents from washing back up into the oesophagus.
• Soothes Burning Sensation Instantly: Formulated with a cooling mint flavour, the liquid provides a refreshing, soothing effect on the throat and oesophagus, immediately counteracting the heat of acid indigestion.
• Clinically Proven GERD Relief: The active ingredients, sodium alginate, calcium carbonate, and sodium bicarbonate, are internationally recognised and clinically proven to manage the symptoms of Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and upset stomach effectively.

Follow these instructions carefully to achieve the best results from your Gaviscon liquid mint flavour:

1. Shake well: Shake the 150ml bottle vigorously before every use to ensure the suspension is thoroughly mixed.
2. Measure the dose: Use a standard medicine spoon or measuring cup. The standard dose for adults and children over 12 years is 10ml to 20ml (two to four 5ml spoonfuls).
3. Consume at the right time: Take the measured dose orally, immediately after meals and right before bedtime, or exactly as directed by your physician.
4. Do not exceed maximum dosage: Do not take more than 80ml (sixteen 5ml spoonfuls) in 24 hours.

Pro Tip: Avoid drinking large amounts of water immediately after taking the suspension, as this can wash away the protective barrier coating your oesophagus and stomach lining.

• Who should NOT use this product: Children under 12 years of age should not take this medicine unless explicitly prescribed by a doctor. Avoid if you are allergic to sodium alginate, calcium carbonate, or any listed excipients.
• Dietary Warnings (Sodium & Calcium): A 10ml dose contains a significant amount of sodium (127.25 mg) and calcium (130 mg). Consult your doctor before use if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney disease, or are on a strict low-sodium or low-calcium diet.
• Drug Interactions: Leave a gap of at least 2 hours between taking Gaviscon and other oral medications (especially antibiotics like tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, iron preparations, and thyroid hormones), as antacids can interfere with drug absorption.
• Pregnancy & Lactation: This product is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding when taken in accordance with dosage guidelines; however, always consult a healthcare professional first.
• Storage: Keep out of sight and reach of children. Store below 30°C. Do not refrigerate or freeze.
