Product Information

Full details

Gaviscon Advance Aniseed Suspension is designed for adults seeking fast, soothing relief from heartburn and indigestion. Its key benefit is forming a protective raft in the stomach to prevent acid reflux. A potential caveat is that it is a medicinal product and should be used as directed, always reading the label. This 500ml liquid formulation offers effective symptom relief for acid reflux.

FAQs

How does Gaviscon Advance work?

It works by forming a thick layer, or raft, that floats on top of the stomach contents. This raft prevents stomach acid from flowing back up into the food pipe (oesophagus), providing relief from heartburn and indigestion.

Is Gaviscon Advance Aniseed Suspension suitable for children?

This product is formulated for adult use. Please refer to the product label or consult a healthcare professional for suitable options for children.

How long should I take Gaviscon Advance?

Gaviscon Advance is intended for short-term relief. If your symptoms persist or worsen after 7 days, or if you experience difficulty swallowing, seek medical advice from your doctor.

Can I take Gaviscon Advance with other medications?

It is recommended to leave a gap of at least two hours between taking Gaviscon Advance and other oral medications to ensure proper absorption. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking other medicines.

What is the expiry date?

The expiry date is clearly printed on the bottle. Do not use the product after this date.

How should I store the suspension?

Store Gaviscon Advance Aniseed Suspension in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat or sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after use.

Does the aniseed flavour contain any allergens?

The product contains aniseed oil. Please check the full ingredient list on the packaging for any specific allergens or sensitivities.

Troubleshooting

Product effectiveness seems reduced.

Ensure you are shaking the bottle well before each use to properly mix the suspension. Verify you are taking the correct dosage as per the label instructions and at the recommended times (after meals and at bedtime).

Taste is not as expected.

While the aniseed flavour is generally well-tolerated, individual taste perception varies. Ensure the product has not expired and has been stored correctly. If the taste is a significant issue, consider discussing alternative products with your pharmacist.

Bottle cap is difficult to open/close.

Ensure the cap is clean and dry. If it becomes sticky, gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Ensure it is aligned correctly before attempting to close.
