What’s the difference between Gaviscon and Guardium?


Gaviscon Dual Action is a combined antacid + alginate which provides fast and effective relief from the pain and discomfort of heartburn & indigestion.

Gaviscon Dual Action works in the stomach in two ways:

  1. The Antacid neutralises stomach acid fast and
  2. The Sodium Alginate forms a protective physical barrier that blocks acid reflux. 

Guardium is suitable for people who experience frequent heartburn – twice a week or more.

Guardium Acid Reflux Relief tablets are a Proton Pump Inhibitor or PPI, which works by blocking acid pumps in the stomach and decreasing the amount of acid made by the stomach – which in turn relieves heartburn at its source.

1 tablet of Guardium provides 24-hour relief and protection from frequent heartburn.

So if you suffer Occasionally or Frequently, the heartburn experts at Gaviscon have you covered.

Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The main ingredient in Gaviscon liquid and tablet products is not an antacid. It is an ingredient called Sodium Alginate. Together with the other active ingredients, Sodium Alginate creates a barrier that forms over the contents of your stomach to help relieve the symptoms of heartburn and indigestion. Gaviscon Dual Action contains a higher concentration of calcium carbonate, to help neutralise excess stomach acid and form a barrier.

Guardium Acid Reflux Relief Tablets contain the active ingredient Esomeprazole. Guardium Acid Reflux Relief Tablets contain a type of medicine called a proton-pump inhibitor (PPI). It works by decreasing the amount of acid made by the stomach to give relief of symptoms and allow healing to take place. This does not stop food being digested in the normal way.

Guardium Acid Reflux Relief Tablets are used for the symptomatic relief of frequent heartburn, acid regurgitation and other symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux. This can be caused by “washing back” (reflux) of food and acid from the stomach into the food pipe (oesophagus). Reflux can cause a burning sensation in the chest rising up into the throat, also known as heartburn.

Frequent heartburn is when you have heartburn for two or more times a week. 

Guardium Acid Reflux Relief Tablets are recommended for adults over 18 years of age suffering from heartburn for two or more times a week.
