What is Gaviscon?
Gaviscon is a medicine that helps with heartburn and indigestion. It comes in liquid or chewable tablet form. It works by creating a protective layer in your stomach to relieve discomfort.The active ingredients in Gaviscon typically include alginate, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium carbonate.
Can you take Gaviscon when pregnant?
Yes, Gaviscon is generally considered safe to use during pregnancy for the relief of heartburn and indigestion. It does not contain any ingredients that are known to be harmful to pregnant women or their babies. However, as with any medication, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before using Gaviscon during pregnancy, especially if you have any concerns or if your symptoms persist or worsen. They can provide personalised advice based on your individual situation and medical history.
Can you take Gaviscon with omeprazole?
Yes, it is generally safe to take Gaviscon alongside omeprazole. Gaviscon works by forming a protective barrier over the stomach contents to relieve symptoms of heartburn and indigestion, while omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid.
Some people find that using Gaviscon in addition to omeprazole provides additional relief, especially for symptoms like regurgitation or discomfort caused by acid reflux. However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before combining medications to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your individual situation. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and the severity of your symptoms.

How long does Gaviscon take to work?
Gaviscon usually works quickly, often providing relief within a few minutes after taking it. The exact time it takes to work can vary from person to person and depending on the severity of the symptoms. However, many people report feeling relief from heartburn and indigestion soon after taking Gaviscon. If you don't experience relief or if your symptoms persist or worsen after taking Gaviscon, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.
What does Gaviscon do?
Gaviscon forms a protective layer on top of stomach contents, acting as a barrier that helps to prevent stomach acid from refluxing back into the esophagus. This action helps to relieve symptoms of heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion by soothing irritation in the esophagus and reducing discomfort. Essentially, Gaviscon provides relief from symptoms by creating a physical barrier that helps to prevent stomach acid from causing irritation and discomfort in the upper digestive tract.
Can I drink water after taking Gaviscon?
Yes, you can drink water after taking Gaviscon. In fact, it's often recommended to drink water after taking Gaviscon to help ensure that the medication is properly distributed throughout the stomach and to aid in its effectiveness. Drinking water can also help to wash down the medication and provide additional relief from symptoms of heartburn and indigestion. However, it's important to follow the instructions on the product label and to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any questions or concerns about using Gaviscon.
How many Gaviscon tablets do I take?
The recommended dosage of Gaviscon tablets can vary depending on the specific product and the severity of your symptoms. It's important to read the instructions on the product label carefully and follow the recommended dosage provided by the manufacturer. In general, for adults and children over 12 years old, the typical dosage of Gaviscon tablets is 2 to 4 tablets taken after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by a healthcare professional. However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any questions or concerns about the appropriate dosage for your individual situation. They can provide personalised advice based on your medical history and the severity of your symptoms.
