How Gaviscon Peppermint Suspension works
Sodium alginate forms a protective floating barrier over stomach contents, helping prevent reflux into the esophagus. The antacids (calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate) neutralize gastric acid to reduce burning and discomfort.
How to take Gaviscon Peppermint Suspension
Shake well before use. Typically taken after meals and at bedtime or as directed. Use a measuring cup/spoon; avoid taking other oral medicines at the same time (keep a gap).
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

If you take too much

Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
