A time-interval of 2 hours should be considered between Gaviscon intake and the administration of other medicinal products, especially tetracyclines, digoxine, fluoroquinolone, iron salt, ketoconazole, neuroleptics, thyroid hormones, penicillamine, beta-blockers (atenolol, metoprolol, propanolol), glucocorticoid, chloroquine and biphosphonates (diphosphonates) and estramustine. When the sodium alginate comes into contact with the irritating gastric acid, the alginate forms “raft”, which acts as a protective barrier over your stomach contents, stopping acid from rising and soothing the burning sensation in your chest in the process.Follow the instructions on the packaging or, if your doctor has prescribed it, take the dose they tell you to. Our bodies use stomach acid to break down the contents of food, and we have a valve or “gate” in our oesophagus that keeps this acid in place.

Gaviscon Advance liquid works by providing a protective raft-like layer (of alginate) across the stomach contents to help prevent acid escaping back up the food pipe, which can cause pain and discomfort.
