About this deal

If you usually take Gaviscon regularly but forget to take a dose, do not double your dose the next time. Just leave out the missed dose and take your next dose as normal. This medicinal product contains 53.22 mg sodium per tablet, equivalent to 2.7% of the WHO recommended maximum daily intake for sodium. The maximum daily dose of this product is equivalent to 44.71% of the WHO recommended maximum daily intake for sodium.

Pharmacotherapeutic classification: A02BX, other drugs for peptic ulcer and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. Aluminum-containing antacids bind to phosphate, an important body chemical, in the gut. This can cause low phosphate levels, especially if you use this medication in large doses and for a long time. Tell your doctor right away if you have any of the following symptoms of low phosphate: loss of appetite, unusual tiredness, muscle weakness. You'll usually take Gaviscon tablets and liquid up to 4 times a day. It's best to take it after meals and at bedtime. This is usually when the pain and discomfort is at its worst. But if your doctor has prescribed Gaviscon, take it when they tell you to. The magnesium in this product can cause diarrhea. Using an antacid that contains only aluminum along with this product can help control diarrhea. The aluminum in this product can cause constipation. To minimize constipation, drink plenty of fluids and exercise. Diarrhea is more common with this product than constipation. If you forget doses often, it may help to set an alarm to remind you. You could also ask your pharmacist for advice on other ways to help you remember to take your medicine. What if I take too much?The medicinal product is a combination of two antacids (calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate) and an alginate. If symptoms persist, or treatment is required for more than 7 days continuously, medical advice should be sought. It all starts with sodium alginate. Refined from brown seaweed which is sustainably harvested, this effective formulation acts as a protective barrier against discomfort and provides fast relief. Sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate act as antacids, countering the problematic acid in the process. The protective barrier lasts for up to 4 hours.

Some medicines must not be taken at the same time as Gaviscon. This is because the medicines can affect how the other medicine works.
