Gaviscon Peppermint Tablets 24 - Heartburn and Acid Reflux Relief
Gaviscon Peppermint Tablets provide fast, soothing and long-lasting relief from heartburn, acid reflux and indigestion. Gaviscon works differently from standard antacids - it forms a protective alginate raft on top of stomach contents that physically blocks acid from refluxing into the oesophagus, providing lasting symptom relief.
Available from Pakuranga Pharmacy.
Key Features

FAQ: How does Gaviscon work differently from standard antacids?
Standard antacids (calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide) simply neutralise stomach acid. Gaviscon contains sodium alginate which forms a thick gel raft on top of stomach contents after reacting with stomach acid. This gel raft physically floats on the stomach contents and acts as a barrier preventing reflux into the oesophagus - addressing the root cause of reflux symptoms rather than just neutralising acid. Gaviscon also contains a small amount of antacid for additional symptom relief.
FAQ: When should I take Gaviscon for heartburn?
Take Gaviscon after meals and at bedtime - the times when acid reflux is most likely to occur. For best effect, take within 20-30 minutes after eating. The alginate raft is most effective when stomach contents are present for the raft to float on. Always follow the dosage instructions on the label.
FAQ: Can I take Gaviscon every day long-term?
Gaviscon is generally considered safe for regular use for symptom management. However, if you need to take it daily for more than 2 weeks, consult your doctor as underlying conditions like GERD or peptic ulcer disease may need formal diagnosis and treatment. Our pharmacist can advise on appropriate management for frequent heartburn.
