Medication name: Gaviscon Advance Oral Suspension Peppermint Flavour 300 ml
\nDrug class: Antacid and reflux suppressant<\/p>\n
Use:
\nThis medication is used to relieve the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and indigestion.
\nIt provides soothing relief in conditions where stomach acid flows back into the food pipe, including after meals or during pregnancy.<\/p>\n
How it works:
\nGaviscon Advance contains sodium alginate and potassium bicarbonate.
\nWhen taken orally, it reacts with stomach acid to form a thick, protective layer (or raft) that floats on top of the stomach contents.
\nThis barrier prevents acid from flowing back into the esophagus, reducing irritation and the burning sensation associated with reflux.
\nThe bicarbonate component also neutralizes excess acid, offering additional comfort.<\/p>\n
Dosage and administration:
\nShake the bottle well before use.
\nThe usual adult dose is 5\u201310 ml after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by a doctor.
\nIt should be taken orally and not mixed with water.
\nFor children aged 12 years and older, the same dosing may be used under medical supervision.
\nDo not exceed the recommended dose.<\/p>\n
Side effects:
\nGaviscon Advance is generally safe and well tolerated.
\nOccasionally, mild side effects such as bloating, nausea, or constipation may occur.
\nAllergic reactions are rare but can include skin rash, itching, or swelling.
\nStop use and seek medical help if any severe reaction occurs.<\/p>\n
Precautions:
\nDo not use if allergic to sodium alginate, potassium bicarbonate, or any other ingredients in the product.
\nConsult a doctor before use if you have kidney disease, heart problems, or are on a salt-restricted diet, as the product contains sodium and potassium.
\nIt can be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding if recommended by a healthcare professional.
\nAvoid taking it within two hours of other medications to prevent interaction or reduced absorption.<\/p>\n
Storage:
\nStore below 25 \u00b0C, away from direct sunlight and heat.
\nKeep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children.
\nDo not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
