Gaviscon Oral Suspension | For Heartburn, Indigestion & Stomach Care | Peppermint Flavour

Overview Gaviscon Oral Suspension | For Heartburn, Indigestion & Stomach Care | Peppermint Flavour

Gaviscon Peppermint Oral Suspension effectively manages heartburn, indigestion, and stomach upset. This antacid provides rapid and sustained relief from heartburn, bloating, and belching, alleviating associated abdominal pain and discomfort. Its action involves neutralizing stomach acid. Formulated with sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium carbonate, it creates a protective gel layer atop stomach contents, preventing acid reflux. Sodium bicarbonate neutralizes acid, while the alginate gel acts as a barrier. The rapid-acting formula provides relief lasting up to four hours—twice the duration of standard antacids. This sugar-free, gluten-free suspension is suitable for adults, children over 12, and pregnant or breastfeeding women, when used as directed. However, consult a physician if symptoms persist or worsen. Dosage: 10-20ml after meals and at bedtime, or as prescribed. Key Ingredients (per dose): Sodium Alginate 250mg, Sodium Bicarbonate 133.5mg, Calcium Carbonate 80mg. Caution: Individuals on sodium-restricted diets (hypertension, heart failure, renal impairment) should consult their doctor. Antacids may interact with other medications; inform your doctor of all current prescriptions. Accidental overdose may cause bloating; consult a doctor. Shake well before use. Side effects are rare with proper usage; prolonged use (beyond two weeks) requires medical supervision. Store below 30°C. Children under 12: Consult a physician. Seek medical attention if symptoms don't improve within seven days or if any side effects occur. A two-hour gap should be maintained between Gaviscon and other medications.
