Gaviscon L Syrup

Gaviscon is used to treat heartburn (acid reflux) and indigestion.

It works by forming a protective layer over the contents of your stomach. This helps stop stomach acid from moving up into your food pipe. Gaviscon also contains an antacid that helps with the pain and discomfort you experience when your stomach produces too much acid.

Gaviscon and pregnancy
You can take Gaviscon if you are pregnant.
It is important to follow the instructions and not take more than the recommended amount.

If you occasionally have mild heartburn or indigestion, take Gaviscon only when you need it.

If you often have heartburn or indigestion, you can take Gaviscon up to 4 times a day, 10 to 20 ml after meals and before bedtime.

The best time to take it is after meals and before bed, whether you have symptoms or not. This is because pain and discomfort are usually worse at this time.
