Gaviscon DOUBLE ACTION Sachets 24 *10 ML

Gaviscon Liquid Sachets

Description:

Gaviscon Liquid Sachets are an over-the-counter antacid and reflux suppressant medicine designed to provide fast and long-lasting relief from heartburn and acid indigestion. Each sachet contains a ready-to-use oral suspension that forms a protective raft on top of the stomach contents, helping to prevent acid from flowing back into the esophagus. This convenient single-dose format is ideal for use at home, work, or while traveling, and is particularly suitable for individuals who experience symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid regurgitation, and discomfort after meals. Mint-flavoured for a pleasant taste, Gaviscon Liquid Sachets are formulated for adults and adolescents as directed by a healthcare professional.

Indications:

• Relief of symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including heartburn and acid regurgitation.
• Treatment of acid indigestion and hyperacidity associated with meals or certain foods and beverages.
• Relief of burning sensation in the chest or throat caused by stomach acid reflux.
• Management of symptoms of reflux-related discomfort such as sour taste in the mouth and bloating due to acid reflux.
• May be used under medical supervision for relief of heartburn during pregnancy, if recommended by a doctor.

• If you are taking other medications (especially tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolones, iron supplements, thyroid hormones, or other oral medicines), separate dosing times as antacids may affect absorption. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
