Dosage & Instructions
Gaviscon Extra Liquid Sachets Peppermint Flavour contains an off-white to cream suspension with the flavour of peppermint.
This medicine is used for the treatment of acid related symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux such as acid regurgitation, heartburn and indigestion, for example following meals or during pregnancy. It works in 2 ways: a combination of two antacids to neutralise excess stomach acid, and an alginate which forms a protective layer that floats on top of the stomach contents, keeping it away from the lining of the food pipe.
Adults and children over 12 years.
Can be used during pregnancy or breast-feeding.
Children under 12 years: should only be given on medical advice.
This product is high in sodium.
Consult your doctor if you are over 40 years and have never suffered with heartburn and acid indigesion before.
If symptoms persist after 7 days, please consult your doctor.
