Gaviscon extra 24 Chewable Tablets

Antacid

The drug reacts with gastric acid to rapidly form a raft of alginic acid gel having a near-neutral pH which floats on the stomach contents effectively impeding gastro-oesophageal reflux for up to 4 hours, and protecting the oesophagus from acid, pepsin and bile.


Indications:

• Mild symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.


Points of Interests:

• If symptoms do not improve after seven days, the clinical situation should be reviewed.

• Antacids will decrease the absorption of many medicines. The administration of antacids should be separated by 2 hours from other orally administered medicines, whenever possible.
