Directions for Use

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.

Key Benefits

  • 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.

 

FAQs

Gaviscon Double Action Mint 150ml is a fast-acting liquid medicine used to treat acid reflux, heartburn, and indigestion. It works by neutralising excess stomach acid to relieve pain, while simultaneously forming a protective gel-like barrier over the stomach contents to prevent acid from escaping into the oesophagus.

It uses a dual-action mechanism. Calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate act as antacids to rapidly neutralise stomach acid. Meanwhile, sodium alginate reacts with the acid to form a thick, floating "raft" that acts as a physical lid on the stomach, blocking gastro-oesophageal reflux.

The most effective time to take this medication is immediately after meals and right before bedtime. Taking it at these times ensures that the protective barrier forms when your stomach is full, and acid production is at its peak.

It is best to avoid drinking large quantities of water or other liquids immediately after taking the syrup. Liquids can dilute the medicine and prematurely wash away the protective alginate raft that prevents acid reflux relief.

Adults and children over 12 can take 10-20ml after meals and at bedtime, up to four times a day. Do not exceed a maximum daily dose of 80ml in 24 hours unless instructed by a healthcare professional.

Yes, the active ingredients in this formulation do not enter the bloodstream and are generally recognised as safe for managing pregnancy-induced heartburn. However, pregnant women should always consult their physician before starting any new medication.

When taken at the recommended dose, side effects are very rare. However, excessive use can lead to bloating, flatulence, or an upset stomach. If you experience an allergic reaction (like skin rash or difficulty breathing), stop use and seek immediate medical help.

This medicine contains sodium (127.25 mg per 10ml dose). If you have high blood pressure, heart disease, or are on a strict sodium-restricted diet, you should consult your doctor before you buy Gaviscon Double Action to ensure it fits safely into your dietary limits.

While the liquid starts soothing the burning sensation within 3 minutes, the protective physical barrier it forms can remain intact in the stomach for up to 4 hours, providing long-lasting comfort compared to standard antacids.

Standard Gaviscon primarily focuses on forming the alginate raft to stop reflux. Gaviscon Double Action contains a higher concentration of antacids (calcium carbonate), meaning it is highly effective at both forming the barrier and neutralising heavy stomach acid simultaneously.
