Gaviscon FAQs
How does Gaviscon work to relieve heartburn and indigestion?
Gaviscon works in two main ways depending on the product. Most Gaviscon products contain alginate, which forms a protective raft on top of your stomach contents, creating a physical barrier that helps prevent stomach acid from rising into the oesophagus (gullet), thus relieving heartburn. Many formulas also contain antacids (like calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate) that neutralise excess stomach acid, providing relief from indigestion.
Can I use Gaviscon if I am pregnant?
Yes, many Gaviscon products are suitable for use during pregnancy when experiencing heartburn and indigestion. However, it's always best to consult with your doctor or a Weldricks pharmacist before taking any new products during pregnancy to ensure it's the right choice for you.
What is the difference between Gaviscon Original, Advance, and Double Action?
Gaviscon Original provides a soothing protective barrier against stomach acid. Gaviscon Advance offers a stronger, longer-lasting barrier for more severe or persistent heartburn and acid reflux. Gaviscon Double Action combines the protective barrier with an antacid that also neutralises excess stomach acid for comprehensive relief from both heartburn and indigestion.
How quickly does Gaviscon provide relief?
Gaviscon is known for its fast-acting relief. Many users experience relief from heartburn and indigestion symptoms within minutes of taking the product, as the protective barrier forms quickly on top of stomach contents.
