Gaviscon Double Action Mixed Berries Flavour Chewable Tablets are a combination of two antacids (calcium carbonate and sodium hydrogen carbonate) and an alginate and work in two ways:
- Neutralising excess stomach acid to relieve the pain and discomfort
- Forming a protective barrier over the stomach contents to soothe the burning pain in your chest which may last for up to four hours.
This medicine is used for the treatment of acid related symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux such as acid regurgitation, heartburn and indigestion which may occur, for example, following meals, or during pregnancy.
