Gaviscon Peppermint Flavor Tablet 16pcs

Description

Gaviscon chewable tablets with mint flavour are an antacid for effective relief from heartburn, acid reflux and acid indigestion. Sodium bicarbonate is an antacid, which helps regulate stomach acidity by neutralizing excess acid in it, while sodium alginate, extracted from seaweed, helps form a gel-like layer that helps protect the esophagus from refluxed acid. How to use Take two to four tablets after meals and at bedtime up to four times daily. Doses may be changed in special circumstances, so always follow the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist. If you take more than you should, talk to your doctor or go to the hospital immediately. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take a double dose (two doses at the same time) to make up for a missed dose. Warnings and precautions Gaviscon antacid contains a high content of sodium. This should be taken into account in particular for those on a low-salt diet (e.g. in some cases of congestive heart failure and kidney impairment). Use caution if you have impaired kidney function or if you are on a potassium-restricted diet. Caution should be exercised if you have hypercalcemia, renal calcification and recurrent calcium containing kidney stones.
