FAQ: When should I use Extra Strength rather than regular Gaviscon?

Gaviscon Extra Strength contains a higher concentration of sodium alginate, providing a thicker, more robust protective raft. It is appropriate for people with more frequent heartburn, larger meal triggers, or those who find the standard formula provides insufficient duration of relief. The 60-tablet pack provides better value for those who use Gaviscon regularly.

FAQ: Is reflux cough a sign of acid reflux?

Yes - chronic cough, particularly a dry cough that worsens after meals or when lying down, is a common extra-oesophageal symptom of acid reflux. Acid reaching the back of the throat can trigger cough reflexes. Gaviscon's alginate raft helps prevent this by physically blocking reflux. If reflux cough is your primary symptom, discuss with our pharmacist or your doctor as additional investigation may be warranted.
