I cant get Gaviscon on prescription, they give you some othr pigswill instead I buy a huge bottle which costs about £9.99 in Boots. Well the big bottles are now on offer for £5.99. Thought I'd mention it just in case anyone else is a Gaviscon junky like me

hi ladys!!! i been taking gaviscon liquid and i hate it but it works, but i just wanted to share with you the fact that the pharmacist would not sell me the gaviscon chewy tablets as they work differently and were not recomended if pregnant. so please check before you take loads of them!

I've been taking Rennie's for my heartburn! Never tried Gaviscon!

Except the other night we didn't have any left, my mum made me a concoxion of water and bicarbonate of soda instead! It worked too!

Weird I've got the tablets and it actually says on the leaflet attached to them that its ok to take them in pregnancy

 

[sarahj]

I think some pharmacists just make up and guess what they think is safe or not in alot of cases. My doctor prescribed me tablets for my hayfever when pg, but they wouldnt sell me them at the pharmacy

Sorry but I found the tablets truly revolting, I personally prefer the medicinie washed down with a glass of water. The tablets seem to weld themselves to my teeth
