WHAT IS THIS MEDICINE AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
Gaviscon Advance belongs to a group of medicines called "reflux
suppressants".
This product forms a protective layer that floats on top of the
stomach contents. This layer prevents reflux and keeps the
stomach contents away from the lining of the food pipe to relieve
the symptoms of heartburn and acid indigestion. It can also be
used to relieve the symptoms of conditions such as hiatus hernia
(protrusion of muscle through a muscle wall), reflux oesophagitis
(inflamed foodpipe) and symptoms of hoarseness and other
voice disorders, sore throat and cough associated with reflux.
It can also be taken to control heartburn symptoms which may
occur when taking, or following withdrawal of, medication to
reduce stomach acid such as Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) or
H2 Antagonists.
