Product overview
Gaviscon Double Action goes to work instantly in two different ways. First, the antacid components (Sodium Bicarbonate and Calcium Carbonate) rapidly neutralize excess stomach acid to relieve pain and discomfort. Second, the Sodium Alginate forms a strong, protective physical raft over the stomach contents, helping to stop acid from escaping back up into the food pipe (oesophagus). Whether you're focused on enjoying your favourite meals without fear of flare-ups or trying to get a peaceful night's sleep free from reflux, this product is designed to offer a powerful, 2-in-1 solution.
Each serving provides a clinically proven dual-action effect, with a formula created for rapid neutralization, physical acid suppression, and up to 4 hours of relief.
Key highlights
- Starts working in minutes to soothe the chest and stomach
- Provides a physical barrier to prevent acid reflux
- Offers long-lasting relief that can last up to 4 hours
- Handy 12-tablet blister pack is perfect for travel or work

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Gaviscon Original and Double Action?
While both form a protective barrier (raft) over the stomach contents, Gaviscon Double Action contains a higher concentration of antacids. This means it works twice as hard to neutralize excess stomach acid while still preventing reflux.
Can I take this medication if I am pregnant?
Gaviscon products are widely used during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as they work physically in the stomach rather than entering the bloodstream. However, it is always recommended to consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medication while pregnant.
How long does the relief last?
Because of the unique alginate raft that sits on top of the stomach contents, Gaviscon Double Action can provide soothing relief that lasts for up to 4 hours.
Can I take this with other medications?
Antacids can affect how well other medicines work. You should leave a gap of at least 2 hours between taking Gaviscon and taking other medications by mouth.
