Gaviscon Advance Liquid 300ml

Gaviscon Advance belongs to a group of medicines called "reflex suppressants". This product forms a protective layer that floats on top of the stomach contents. This layer prevents reflux and keeps the stomach contents away from the lining of the food pipe to relieve the symptoms of heartburn and acid indigestion. It can also be used to relieve the symptoms of conditions such as protrusion of muscle through a muscle wall, inflamed foodpipe and symptoms of hoarseness and other voice disorders, sore throat and cough associated with reflux.

It can also be taken to control heartburn symptoms which may occur when taking, or following withdrawal of, medication to reduce stomach acid such as proton pump inhibitors or H2 antagonists.

Very rare (less than 1 in 10000): a chance of an allergic reaction to the ingredients. Symptoms of this may include:

• skin rash
• itching
• shortness of breath
• dizziness
• swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat

Before taking any medication, it is important to read the Patient Information Leaflet. You can find information leaflets for your medicines by typing them into the search bar at medicines.org, or by contacting us.
