Gaviscon Liquid Peppermint 150ml

Gaviscon Liquid Peppermint is an oral suspension medication used for the fast, soothing, and long-lasting relief of heartburn and indigestion. It works by forming a protective layer, or raft, on top of the stomach contents to prevent stomach acid from escaping into the esophagus.

Key ingredients and how they work

The primary active ingredients in Gaviscon Liquid Peppermint work together to neutralize stomach acid and suppress reflux. 

• Sodium Alginate: Extracted from seaweed, this forms the protective "raft" that floats on the surface of the stomach contents to prevent acid reflux.
• Sodium Bicarbonate and Calcium Carbonate: These are antacids that help to neutralize excess stomach acid. 

How to take Gaviscon Liquid Peppermint

It is recommended to shake the bottle well before use. Gaviscon Liquid Peppermint is typically taken after meals and at bedtime. Specific dosage amounts and frequency should be followed as directed on the product packaging or by a healthcare professional. The product is not recommended for children under a certain age without medical advice. Do not drink directly from the bottle, and consult a doctor if symptoms continue after a specified period. 

Potential side effects

Gaviscon is generally considered safe, with most people not experiencing side effects. Mild side effects such as constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or stomach cramps can occur. Although very rare, a serious allergic reaction is possible. Seek immediate medical help if signs of an allergic reaction like a rash, itching, severe dizziness, or swelling of the face, tongue, or throat are observed. 

Warnings and precautions

Due to its content, those on a low-salt diet or with conditions like heart or kidney disease should consult a doctor before use. Avoid taking Gaviscon within a specified time frame of other oral medications to prevent interference with their absorption, particularly antibiotics, iron, and thyroid hormones. Check the label for all ingredients, especially if you have allergies, as some versions contain methyl and propyl parahydroxybenzoates which can cause allergic reactions. Individuals on a low-calcium diet or with significant kidney or heart disease should consult a doctor before use. 

Who can take Gaviscon Liquid Peppermint

Many Gaviscon products are suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but it is advisable to consult a doctor or pharmacist first. Adults and children over a certain age can use the product as directed. Children within a specific age range can also use it as directed, though some versions may require medical advice. Caution is advised for patients with kidney or heart disease or those on sodium-restricted diets.
