What is Gaviscon Double Action Liquid?
Gaviscon Double Action Liquid is an over-the-counter medicine designed to provide fast and effective relief from heartburn and indigestion. It works by neutralising excess stomach acid and creating a protective barrier that helps to prevent acid reflux. This combination makes it a trusted choice for many people suffering from digestive discomfort.
How does Gaviscon Double Action Liquid work?
Gaviscon Double Action Liquid works in two ways to relieve heartburn and indigestion:
- Neutralises Acid: The active ingredients in Gaviscon react with the stomach acid to neutralise it, reducing the burning sensation associated with heartburn.
- Forms a Protective Barrier: The liquid forms a gel-like barrier that floats on top of the stomach contents, helping to prevent acid from flowing back into the oesophagus, which causes reflux.
- Shake the bottle well before use.
- Adults and children over 12 years: Take 10-20 ml after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
- Do not take more than 4 doses per day.
- For children under 12 years, consult your doctor or pharmacist before use.
Common side effects may include:
- Constipation
- Diarrhoea (rare)
- Stomach discomfort (rare)
If you experience any serious side effects or signs of an allergic reaction, stop using the product immediately and seek medical advice. If you’re unsure about any side effects or have concerns, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
