What Are Gaviscon Double Action Liquid Sachets?
Gaviscon Double Action Liquid Sachets provide fast and effective relief from the symptoms of heartburn and indigestion, offering a convenient and portable solution for managing acid reflux after meals. They are designed to neutralise stomach acid and form a protective barrier to prevent acid from rising back up the oesophagus, reducing discomfort.
How Do Gaviscon Double Action Liquid Sachets Work?
Gaviscon Double Action works in two key ways:
- Neutralising Stomach Acid: The active ingredients help to neutralise excess stomach acid, providing quick relief from burning sensations or discomfort.
- Creating a Protective Barrier: A layer is formed over the stomach contents, preventing acid from rising into the oesophagus, which helps to soothe heartburn and indigestion.
How to Use Gaviscon Double Action Liquid Sachets:
- Dosage: Take one to two sachets (10 ml each) after meals and before bedtime, up to four times a day if needed.
- Administration: Simply squeeze the contents of the sachet directly into your mouth or mix it with a small amount of water for easier swallowing.
Warnings and Precautions:
- Consult your doctor: If you need to limit sodium or calcium intake, or if you have kidney or heart problems.
- Allergies: Avoid use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.
- Keep out of reach of children: Ensure that sachets are kept safely away from children.
Storage Instructions:
- Store the sachets below 25°C in their original packaging.
- Do not refrigerate or freeze the sachets.
- Ensure you do not use the sachets after the expiry date.
