How Gaviscon Extra Strength Provides Heartburn Relief
Understanding Heartburn and Acid Reflux
Heartburn, also known as acid indigestion, occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus. This can cause a burning sensation in the chest and throat. Acid reflux, or GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), is a more severe form of this, with frequent or persistent symptoms. Gaviscon Extra Strength offers relief by providing a protective barrier against stomach acid. The unique formula creates a foam that floats on top of the stomach contents, helping to prevent acid from rising into the esophagus. This physical barrier is different from some other antacids, which primarily neutralize existing acid.
Key Benefits of Gaviscon Extra Strength
Fast-Acting Heartburn Relief
Gaviscon Extra Strength Chewable Foam Tabs start working quickly to neutralize excess stomach acid. The unique formula forms a protective barrier that helps prevent acid from backing up into your esophagus, providing relief within minutes. This rapid action is due to the combination of active ingredients that create a soothing foam. This foam floats on top of the stomach contents, physically blocking acid reflux. Compared to some traditional antacids that may take longer to dissolve and act, Gaviscon is designed for immediate relief.
- Provides relief within minutes
- Long-lasting effect
Fruit Blast Flavour
Gaviscon is formulated with a refreshing Fruit Blast flavor for a pleasant taste, making it easier to take. The chewable tablets are designed for convenience, allowing you to take them anytime, anywhere. The flavoring includes a blend of natural and artificial flavors to enhance the taste and make it more palatable, ensuring you can take it without issue. It is designed to be both effective and enjoyable to take.
Day and Night Relief
Gaviscon provides relief throughout the day and night, helping you manage symptoms and get on with your day. It is effective for both daytime heartburn and nighttime acid reflux. Taking Gaviscon before bed can be particularly helpful in preventing nighttime acid reflux, which can disrupt sleep. By creating a physical barrier, it helps keep stomach acid where it belongs, allowing for a more restful night.
How to Use Gaviscon Extra Strength
Dosage Instructions
For adults and children 12 years and older, chew 2-4 tablets as needed, after meals or at bedtime. Do not swallow whole. Do not take more than 12 tablets in 24 hours. For best results, chew the tablets thoroughly before swallowing. If you are taking Gaviscon after a large meal, take the recommended dose to prevent heartburn. If you are taking it before lying down, take the dose as directed to prevent nighttime acid reflux. Following these instructions ensures the medication works effectively.
