Product Reviews of Gaviscon Extra Strength Chewable Antacid Tablets, Original Flavor, 100-Count Bottles (Pack of 2)
Product Review: very expensive; liquid form cost less; other meds work better
Summary: 2 Stars
I frequently use this antiacid, but I don't recommend it.
1. It is, by far, the most expensive solution. Proton inhibitors work better, cost a little less, and all other antiacid types cost less.
2. Gaviscon's advantage is some form of coating that is believed to float on top of stomach acid, which make the antiacid last longer. And there's some merit to this. So, I tend to believe that for sleeping at night, this antiacid lasts longer than others. However, if one can use proton inhibitors, they work far better.
3. The tablet form is a bit sugary and is more costly than the liquid form. So, if you're using it prior to sleep, brushing teeth is troublesome.
Essentially costs about 5 to 7 times the price of generic antiacids, so unless you know why you need this, I recommend against it.
