Quickly get rid of the annoying symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with Gaviscon Double Action. Thanks to the specialized combination of sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium carbonate, it offers a double action: it neutralizes excess stomach acid and creates a protective barrier (floating alginate layer) on the surface of the stomach that prevents acid from rising into the esophagus. It starts to relieve in just 3–5 minutes, with its effect lasting up to 4 hours.

• Double Action: Neutralizes stomach acids and forms a protective barrier against reflux in the esophagus.
• Rapid Relief (3–5 minutes): Immediately soothes heartburn, acid regurgitation, and indigestion.
• Suitable for Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: First-line treatment for pregnant women, as it acts locally in the stomach without systemic absorption.
• Available Forms: Chewable tablets (convenient for carrying) and oral suspension in sachets or bottle (for immediate coating of the esophagus).
• Supplementary Use: Can be combined on-demand with PPI therapies (proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole).

1. Dosage of Chewable Tablets (Adults & Children 12+ years): 2 to 4 tablets after meals and before bedtime (up to 4 times a day). Important: Tablets must be chewed completely before swallowing.
3. Interactions with Other Medications: Leave at least a 2-hour interval between taking Gaviscon and other medications (such as iron, levothyroxine, tetracycline antibiotics, PPIs) to avoid reduced absorption.
4. Precautions & Contraindications: Contains sodium and calcium – caution is required for individuals on a strict low-sodium diet, with heart/kidney failure, hypercalcemia, or kidney stones.
