What Gaviscon Forte is and what it is used for
It belongs to the group of medicines called other agents against gastroesophageal reflux.
It works in two different ways:
1. Sodium alginate together with sodium hydrogen carbonate (bicarbonate) and calcium carbonate form a protective barrier in the stomach to prevent gastric reflux by calming the burning in the pit of the stomach.
2. Sodium hydrogen carbonate (bicarbonate) and calcium carbonate additionally neutralize excess acid in the stomach.
Gaviscon Forte is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of hyperacidity of the stomach and heartburn caused by acid reflux of the stomach in adults and children over 12 years of age.
You should see a doctor if it worsens or does not improve after 7 days.
