Product overview
About Gaviscon Original Aniseed
The bottle that made Gaviscon a household name: sodium alginate with sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate, forming a protective raft on top of your stomach contents that keeps acid where it belongs. Relief from heartburn and indigestion, in the aniseed flavour Britain has been taking since the sixties. 250ml oral suspension.
Original or Advance?
Original combines the alginate raft with antacids that neutralise acid as well — a two-front approach that suits general heartburn and indigestion. Advance drops the antacids and doubles the alginate for a denser, longer-lasting raft, which suits reflux that keeps breaking through. Most people find their preference and stay there.
How to take
Adults and children 12+: 10–20ml after meals and at bedtime, up to four times a day. Shake the bottle first.
Good to know
Contains sodium — mention it to your pharmacist if you're on a low-salt diet or have kidney or heart problems. Heartburn most days for three weeks or more, difficulty swallowing, or unexplained weight loss should be checked by a GP.
