Gaviscon 24 Sachets

Gaviscon sachets-dose provides rapid relief from pain and discomfort caused by heartburn or acid reflux or referrals. This medication is intended to relieve your upset stomach. Intended for adults and children over 12 years old, Gaviscon belongs to the family of local action antacids and is used during pregnancy, after meals or to relieve esophagitis. 

It treats the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux such as heartburn, acid reflux (heartburn) and difficult digestion (linked to reflux). In contact with acidic gastric liquid, the Gaviscon Drinkable Suspension has 3 properties:
its lightness allows it to float above the gastric contents at the level of the gastroesophageal junction. its viscosity and its consistency form a physical barrier which opposes reflux (reduction in the number of reflux). In severe reflux, the suspension regurgitates first in the esophagus and is interposed between the esophageal wall and the irritating gastric fluid. its alkaline PH replaces the acid PH of the reflux liquid. The gastric PH-metry shows that the administration of Gaviscon increases the PH by 2 units in the cardia but does not modify the PH in the rest of the stomach.

Dosage and Instructions for use:
1 sachet Gaviscon 3 times a day after the main meals and possibly in the evening at bedtime. This dosage can be doubled in case of severe reflux or esophageal inflammation. If you are taking other medicines, they should be taken at a distance from Gaviscon (2h) Oral use.
