Overview
Gaviscon Double Action is a fast-acting heartburn and indigestion remedy that works in two ways at once. It combines antacids, which neutralise excess stomach acid, with alginate, which forms a protective 'raft' that floats on top of the stomach contents to stop acid rising into the food pipe (reflux). This dual action relieves the burning of heartburn and acid reflux and soothes acid indigestion, including the reflux that can trouble people after meals or at night. A trusted, fast-acting option helping people settle heartburn, acid reflux and indigestion.
Actives typically: Sodium alginate with sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate (antacid/alginate 'raft'). Confirm exact amounts and form (liquid/tablet) on the pack.
Directions for Use
Take as directed on the label. For the liquid, usually a measured dose (e.g. 10-20ml) after meals and at bedtime; for tablets, chew them well. Shake the liquid before use and measure with the cup provided. It works best taken after food and before lying down. Take it a couple of hours apart from other medicines, as antacids can affect how those are absorbed. For short-term, symptomatic use.
For short-term relief of heartburn, reflux and indigestion. See a doctor if symptoms persist beyond a week or two, or come with difficulty swallowing, unintended weight loss, vomiting or black stools, which need assessment. It contains sodium. Tell your doctor if you are on a low-salt diet or have heart or kidney problems. Separate from other medicines by about two hours. Use in pregnancy or breastfeeding is generally considered suitable, but check the label. Store below 30°C; do not freeze the liquid.
