Gaviscon Double Action 12 Tablets provide fast and long-lasting relief from heartburn and indigestion by combining the actions of an antacid and a raft-forming agent. The tablets are chewable and available in mint or mixed berry flavors.
How it works
The "double action" formula uses two different methods to provide relief:
- Neutralizes excess stomach acid: An antacid layer of calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate works to neutralize excess stomach acid, relieving pain and discomfort.
- Forms a protective barrier: A soothing, gel-like "raft" of sodium alginate (derived from seaweed) forms on top of your stomach contents. This barrier helps prevent stomach acid from rising into your esophagus and causing a burning sensation.
Who can take it
Gaviscon Double Action tablets are suitable for:
- Adults and children over 12 years of age.
- Pregnant and breastfeeding women.
How to use
For adults and children over 12, take 2 to 4 tablets after meals and at bedtime, up to four times a day, when symptoms occur.
- The tablets must be chewed thoroughly before swallowing.
- Do not exceed 8 tablets in 24 hours unless a doctor advises otherwise.
