Gaviscon

Gaviscon provides fast-acting relief from heartburn and indigestion. This oral suspension contains sodium hydrogen carbonate, calcium carbonate, and sodium alginate to neutralize stomach acid and form a protective barrier.

Gaviscon is commonly used to treat heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux. It works by neutralizing stomach acid and creating a protective layer that helps prevent acid from flowing back into the esophagus. Many people use Gaviscon for quick relief from discomfort caused by overeating or consuming spicy foods.

Gaviscon typically provides rapid relief from heartburn and indigestion symptoms. Some users may experience a temporary change in taste or minor stomach discomfort. The effects are generally short-lived and subside quickly.

Gaviscon should be used as directed. It is important to shake the bottle well before use to ensure proper mixing. Individuals with kidney problems or those on a low-sodium diet should consult a healthcare provider before using Gaviscon.

Gaviscon may interact with certain medications, including some antibiotics and medications for osteoporosis. It is advisable to avoid taking other medications within two hours of using Gaviscon. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
