Product Information

Gaviscon Extra Oral Solution Mixed Berries 250ml – Fast Relief from Heartburn, Acid Reflux & Indigestion

Gaviscon Extra Oral Solution Mixed Berries 250ml provides fast, effective relief from the symptoms of heartburn, acid regurgitation and acid indigestion. Its unique formula works by forming a protective barrier over the stomach contents, helping to prevent stomach acid from travelling back into the oesophagus where it causes the burning sensation associated with reflux.

With a pleasant mixed berries flavour, this oral suspension is easy to take and is suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over. It is also commonly used to relieve heartburn experienced during pregnancy—always follow the advice in the patient information leaflet or speak to your healthcare professional before taking any medicine during pregnancy.

Why Choose Gaviscon Extra Oral Solution?

Unlike medicines that work solely by reducing stomach acid, Gaviscon Extra Oral Solution creates a protective raft that floats on top of the stomach contents. This physical barrier helps reduce acid reflux into the oesophagus while the antacid ingredients help neutralise excess stomach acid, providing rapid and effective symptom relief.

Whether your symptoms occur after eating, when lying down or during pregnancy, Gaviscon Extra offers convenient relief to help you feel more comfortable.

Safety information

Warnings & precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before use if you have kidney or heart disease, severe kidney problems, a low blood phosphate level (hypophosphataemia), reduced stomach acid, kidney stones or a high blood calcium level. Each dose contains sodium and calcium, so take care if you are on a low-salt diet or need it every day for a long time. Contains methyl (E218) and propyl (E216) parahydroxybenzoates (parabens), which may cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed). Like all antacids it can mask the symptoms of more serious conditions - see your doctor if symptoms last longer than 7 days. Keep a 2-hour gap between Gaviscon and other medicines taken by mouth (for example antihistamines, some antibiotics, iron, thyroid medicines, ketoconazole, digoxin, beta-blockers and bisphosphonates).

Pregnancy & breastfeeding

Can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. As with all medicines, keep the treatment period as short as possible. Ask your pharmacist if you are unsure.

Possible side effects

Side effects are uncommon. Very rarely an allergic reaction can occur - an itchy rash, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat with difficulty breathing or wheezing; stop taking it and get medical help straight away. Other effects may include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting or itching. Taking more than recommended may cause bloating or mild abdominal discomfort.

Always read the label

This is a medicine. Always read the label and patient information leaflet before use. If symptoms persist, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
