Gaviscon Chewable Tablets [60 tablets]

For optimal results, chew 2 to 4 tablets thoroughly after meals and at bedtime, up to four times a day, or as directed by your doctor. After chewing, it's beneficial to follow with half a glass of water or another liquid. Avoid swallowing the tablets whole, as chewing ensures the active ingredients are properly released to act effectively. Do not exceed 16 tablets in a 24-hour period.

Each Gaviscon chewable tablet contains 250 mg of sodium alginate, 106.5 mg of sodium bicarbonate, and 187.5 mg of calcium carbonate as active ingredients. Inactive components include xylitol, carmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, macrogol 20,000, mannitol (E421), copovidone, acesulfame-K, aspartame (E951), mint flavour, and carmoisine lake (E122). These tablets are free from sugar and gluten, making them suitable for individuals with dietary restrictions.

While Gaviscon chewable tablets are generally well-tolerated, some users may experience side effects. Common side effects include digestive disturbances such as bloating or flatulence. These symptoms are typically mild and temporary. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, it's important to consult your healthcare provider promptly.

Before using Gaviscon chewable tablets, consult your doctor if you are on a sodium-restricted diet, as each four-tablet dose contains 9.72 mmol of sodium. Additionally, if you have been advised to limit calcium intake, be aware that each four-tablet dose provides 7.5 mmol of calcium. If you are taking other medications, especially those for heart conditions or blood pressure, seek medical advice before starting Gaviscon, as antacids can interact with certain prescription drugs. Do not use this product for peptic ulcers without medical supervision. If symptoms persist after seven days of treatment, consult your doctor.
