Each tablet contains sodium alginate 250 mg, sodium bicarbonate 106.5 mg and calcium carbonate 187.5 mg. What Gaviscon Double Action Tablets helps to treat: Treatment of acid related symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux such as acid regurgitation, heartburn and indigestion, for example following meals. How Gaviscon Double Action Tablets works: Gaviscon Double Action Tablets are a combination of two antacids (calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate) and an alginate. On ingestion, Gaviscon Double Action Tablets reacts rapidly with gastric acid to form a protective barrier (raft) of alginic acid gel having a near neutral pH and which floats on the stomach contents. Effective impediment of gastroesophageal reflux may last for up to 4 hours. Calcium carbonate neutralises gastric acid to provide fast relief from indigestion and heartburn. This effect is increased by the addition of sodium bicarbonate which also has a neutralising action. The mechanism of action is physical and does not depend on absorption into systemic circulation. Dosage: Adults and children 12 years and over: Two to four tablets after meals and at bedtime, up to four times per day. Gaviscon Double Action Tablets should be thoroughly chewed and not swallowed whole. Keep out of reach of children. Carefully read all

product packaging and labels prior to use.
