Medicine details
- CATEGORY OF GAVISCON PEPPERMINT CHEWABLE TABLETS:
- • Antacid
- MECHANISM OF ACTION OF ANTACID:
- • The antacids act by neutralizing the acid in the stomach
- • Alginic acid derivatives, or alginates, acts via a unique mechanism by creating a mechanical barrier
- NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENTS & ADVICE TO REDUCE HYPERACIDITY:
- • Eat sparingly and slowly
- • Avoid certain foods that are more likely than others to trigger reflux, including mint, fatty foods, spicy foods, tomatoes, onions, garlic, coffee, tea and chocolate
- • Don't drink carbonated beverages, drink flat water instead of sparkling water.
- • Stay up after eating
- • Don't move too fast
- • Sleep on an incline

- • If you smoke, quit since Nicotine may relax the lower esophageal sphincter.
- • Check your medications: Some drugs including postmenopausal estrogen, tricyclic antidepressants, and anti-inflammatory painkillers can relax the sphincter, while others particularly bisphosphonates, which are taken to increase bone density, can irritate the esophagus.
