Description
Gaviscon Extra Chewable Tablets are a combination of two antacids (calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate) and an alginate which works in two ways:
1. Neutralising excess stomach acid to relieve the pain and discomfort.
2. Forming a protective barrier of the stomach contents to soothe the burning pain in your chest which may last for up to 4 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.
For oral administration, chew thoroughly before swallowing.

If you take too much of this product it is unlikely to cause you any harm. However, you may feel bloated. Consult your doctor if this doesn’t go away.
Consult your doctor if you are over 40 years and have never suffered with heartburn and acid indigestion before.
If symptoms persist after 7 days consult your doctor.
