Product Details
- Name: Gaviscon Liquid Peppermint Flavour Oral Suspension (Sodium Alginate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Calcium Carbonate)
- How It Works: This suspension contains alginate which creates a gel “raft” on top of the stomach contents to physically block reflux. The bicarbonate and carbonate ingredients act as antacids, quickly neutralizing excess stomach acid to relieve the burning sensation.
- Form: Oral Suspension Liquid
- Warning:
- Sodium Content: Contains sodium; use with caution if you are on a restricted-sodium diet, or have high blood pressure or heart failure.
- Kidney Issues: Consult a doctor if you have kidney problems or a history of kidney stones due to the calcium content.
- Interactions: Can interfere with the absorption of other medications; take Gaviscon at least 2 hours apart from other drugs.
- Administration: For best results, take after meals and at bedtime. Do not lie down immediately after consumption.
