FAQ: What does the dual action mean in Gaviscon Dual Action?

Gaviscon Dual Action combines two complementary mechanisms. First, the sodium alginate forms a protective raft on stomach contents to physically block acid reflux. Second, calcium carbonate provides immediate antacid neutralisation of excess stomach acid. Working together, these two actions provide faster initial relief (from the antacid) plus longer-lasting protection (from the raft) compared to either mechanism alone.

FAQ: Can I use Gaviscon Dual Action in pregnancy?

Gaviscon is one of the recommended options for heartburn in pregnancy as it is not significantly absorbed into the bloodstream and acts locally in the gut. However, the sodium content of Gaviscon products should be considered for women on sodium-restricted diets in pregnancy. Always consult your midwife or doctor before taking any medication during pregnancy, including Gaviscon.
