Product Information

Full details

Gaviscon Liquid Peppermint 150ml is designed for adults and children over 12 experiencing occasional heartburn and indigestion. Its key benefit is providing fast, soothing, and long-lasting relief by neutralizing excess stomach acid and forming a protective barrier. A potential caveat is that individuals on a low sodium diet or with renal impairment should consult a healthcare professional before use, as each 10ml dose contains 141 mg of sodium.

FAQs

How does Gaviscon liquid work?

Gaviscon works in two ways: it neutralizes excess stomach acid to relieve discomfort, and it forms a protective barrier over the stomach contents to prevent acid from rising into the esophagus.

Can I take Gaviscon if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

Yes, Gaviscon liquid is suitable for use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging or as advised by your doctor or pharmacist. Typically, for adults, it is 10ml to 20ml after meals and at bedtime.

Does this product contain sugar or gluten?

No, Gaviscon liquid peppermint flavour does not contain sugar or gluten.

What should I do if my symptoms don't improve?

If your symptoms persist or worsen after 7 days of use, you should speak to a doctor or pharmacist.

What are the main ingredients?

Troubleshooting

Product does not provide relief

Ensure the product was shaken well before use and the correct dosage was taken. If symptoms persist for more than 7 days, consult a healthcare professional.

Taste is unpleasant

The peppermint flavor is designed to be refreshing. If you find it difficult to take, try taking it with a small amount of water (do not dilute the main dose) or discuss alternative Gaviscon formulations with a pharmacist.

Product seems thicker than usual

Ensure the product has been stored correctly. Slight variations in viscosity can occur, but if it appears excessively thick or abnormal, do not use and contact the manufacturer.
