Gaviscon Advance Liquid Peppermint 500ml

Gaviscon Advance Liquid contains double the concentration of sodium alginate compared with Gaviscon Original and therefore provides the strongest Gaviscon treatment that works as a raft. i.e by forming a thick layer on top of the stomach contents which prevents acid rising back up into the oesophagus (food pipe).

Shake well before use.

Adults and children over 12 years: take 5-10ml (one to two 5ml spoonfuls) after meals and at bedtime or as directed.

Children under 12 years: should only be taken on medical advice.

This product contains methyl and propyl parahydroxybenzoates which may cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed).

This treatment may be less effective if you have decreased amounts of gastric acid produced in your stomach.

If you forget a dose it is not necessary to double the dose the next time, just carry on taking as before.

If symptoms persist after 7 days consult your doctor.
