Help Gaviscon as an antacid (SN)

[fluffymuffin]

Hello,
Can I use Gaviscon Double Action liquid sachet as antacid? Or will it interfere with SN?

I wonder the same thing. It's different to other antacids because by design it makes a resilient froth on contact with acid, I presume to stop acid going back up the esophagus. I guess it might interfere with digestion especially of pills, but I'm totally guessing. It's my preferred antacid by a long stretch, it's so effective

I'm not sure about taking it because it's liquid based, I'll try to look for other antacids tomorrow.
