Gaviscon Oral Suspension is an elite, fast-acting therapeutic formulation engineered to isolate and instantly block corrosive gastric acid from entering the esophagus. It features a unique, clinically proven non-systemic molecular blend of Sodium Alginate, Sodium Bicarbonate, and Calcium Carbonate. Unlike traditional antacids that only neutralize baseline acid, Gaviscon delivers a mechanical physiological defense by reacting rapidly with ambient stomach juices to construct a firm, protective alginate gel barrier (or "raft") floating directly on top of the stomach contents. This resilient, neutral raft physically suppresses acid rebound, preventing volatile hydrochloric acid and burning bile from traveling upwards into the sensitive esophageal lining. Simultaneously, the carbonate components efficiently neutralize surrounding excess gastric acid to relieve painful chest burning and post-meal stomach discomfort within minutes, maintaining a safe and soothing mucosal environment for hours without disrupting systemic pH levels.

Side Effects
Possible side effects and reactions
Gaviscon Oral Suspension contains active ingredients like sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium carbonate, which form a protective physical barrier (raft) over stomach contents to relieve acid reflux, heartburn, and indigestion. While generally safe and well-tolerated when used as directed, it can cause certain side effects:
Common/Minor Issues :
-
Mild constipation or diarrhea: Occasional changes in bowel habits due to the presence of calcium and sodium compounds.
-
Mild gas, bloating, or belching: Resulting from the reaction of bicarbonate with stomach acid to form carbon dioxide.
-
Mild nausea or unpleasant taste: A chalky or temporary metallic taste in the mouth immediately after swallowing.
When to Stop Use & Seek Medical Attention :
-
Severe allergic reaction: Signs such as skin rash, hives, intense itching, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or difficulty breathing.
-
Severe abdominal pain or persistent symptoms: If you experience intense stomach cramps, severe constipation, or if your heartburn or reflux symptoms do not improve after 7 days of continuous use.
-
Important Precaution (High Sodium Content): Gaviscon oral suspensions contain significant amounts of sodium and calcium. If you are on a strict low-sodium (salt-restricted) diet, suffer from kidney disease, or have high blood pressure, consult a healthcare professional before regular use.

Important Precautions & Safety Measures
-
Sodium Content Warning: Gaviscon suspension contains sodium (from sodium alginate and sodium bicarbonate). If you are on a strict low-sodium (salt) diet (such as for severe hypertension, congestive heart failure, or certain kidney conditions), consult your doctor before regular use.
-
Timing of Doses: It is typically taken after meals and at bedtime, or as directed by your physician. Avoid taking other oral medications within 1–2 hours of taking Gaviscon, as the alginate raft can interfere with their absorption.
-
Shake Well: Shake the bottle thoroughly before measuring each dose to ensure proper distribution of active ingredients. Use a proper measuring spoon or cup.
-
Duration of Use: If symptoms persist for more than 7 consecutive days despite use, consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions.
-
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Gaviscon is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding to manage pregnancy-related heartburn, but it is always wise to confirm with your obstetrician or doctor first.
