Please everyone be aware, I am asthmatic,bronchitesis and have had a serious reaction to Gaviscon Advance, they thought I had Acid Reflux, where in fact I did not, so there was no need for me to even take this poisonous medicine, it tightened my chest and I had to have the emergency doctor to me as I had a major major exacerbation of asthma, and the emergency doctor informed me that Gaviscon Advance had caused this problem, although nothing is stated on the bottle or on google, this has put all my asthma/bronchitesis back to how it used to be when I had, had it almost under control. Please be aware of Gaviscon Advance it nearly killed me. I am allergic to so many in fact all opiod analgeis all non steroidal anti inflammatory all penicillin base and morphine. Please take note.

Hi Hun, At my Assessment for Transplant, I was told to never take any of these Indigestion medicines. Gaviscon being the worse one. I also have acid reflux, I am lucky that Milk works for me. You have got through the worst now, I wish you Good days Ahead and that you manage to get a better relief medication from your Consultant. Best Wishes xxxx
