Sodium alginate with calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate

Each 5 ml dose of oral suspension contains 500 mg sodium alginate and 100 mg potassium hydrogen carbonate as the active ingredients. This stops the stomach contents from coming back up into the food pipe (reflux), which can be painful. Please note, your healthcare professional is best placed to provide you with advice regarding your health. Some types of Gaviscon may be more likely to make you feel sick or cause vomiting, constipation or diarrhoea because of their ingredients. Compared to Gaviscon Original, Gaviscon Advance’s extra strength formulation has twice the concentration of sodium alginate - forming a strong and resilient 'raft' in the process.Adults including the elderly and children 12 years and over: one to two 5 ml spoonfuls after meals and at bedtime, or as directed. If you experience these or any other side effects, stop taking the product and consult your doctor immediately.
