8. Common questions about Gaviscon
How does Gaviscon work?
Gaviscon是一种称为反射抑制剂的药物。
Reflux is when stomach acid travels up your food pipe and gives you a burning feeling in your chest.
Reflux suppressants like Gaviscon contain alginic acid which is made from seaweed. Alginic acid makes a protective foam layer that floats on top of the contents of your stomach. This stops stomach acid escaping into your food pipe.
Gaviscon还包含抗酸that neutralises stomach acid and reduces pain and discomfort.
我什么时候会感觉好些？
You should start to feel better soon after taking a dose of Gaviscon. The effect of 1 dose should last for around 4 hours.
如果您购买了Gaviscon，而不是由医生开处方，并且在服用7天后就不会感觉好些，请告诉您的医生。他们可能想进行测试或尝试其他药物。
Is it safe to take Gaviscon for a long time?
Gaviscon does not usually cause problems when you take it for a long time. Tell your doctor if you need to take it regularly for more than a week.
Are there other medicines similar to Gaviscon?
是的，Acidex和Peptac与Gaviscon相似。
These medicines are reflux suppressants. They work in the same way as Gaviscon, by reducing acid in your stomach and preventing excess acid escaping into your food pipe. They generally work as well as Gaviscon and have similar side effects. However, they may be given in different doses to Gaviscon.
Sometimes, if Gaviscon does not work or agree with you, your doctor or pharmacist may suggest another reflux suppressant. Like Gaviscon, you can buy Peptac or Acidex from pharmacies and supermarkets.
Are there other indigestion medicines?
- Antacidsinclude Tums (calcium carbonate), Maalox and Milk of Magnesia. These relieve indigestion and heartburn by neutralising the acid in your stomach. They work quickly and make you feel better for a few hours. They're ideal if you occasionally get stomach acid problems. You can get antacids from pharmacies and supermarkets.
- Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)reduce the amount of acid your stomach produces. Most PPIs are available on prescription only. They includeomeprazoleand兰索拉唑。You can buy the lowest strength omeprazole and埃索美拉唑来自药房。
我可以用质子泵抑制剂服用Gaviscon吗？
If your doctor has prescribed a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), such as兰索拉唑，为了减少胃产生的酸量，您可以将加维斯康带来。但是，分别服用这些药物，它们之间留出了2个小时的差距。
Is the Gaviscon I buy the same as on prescription?
Doctors can only prescribe some kinds of Gaviscon, not the full range available from pharmacies and supermarkets.
Different kinds of Gaviscon contain different ingredients. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist to make sure you get a medicine that suits you.
我该如何停止服用加维斯康？
Usually you can stop taking Gaviscon without reducing the dose first.
If you've taken Gaviscon regularly for a long time, talk to your doctor before you stop taking it. Stopping suddenly may mean that the acid stomach contents come up into your food pipe and make your symptoms come back.
Will it affect my fertility?
There's no clear evidence to suggest that taking Gaviscon will reduce fertility in either men or women.
这会影响我的避孕吗？
Gaviscon不影响任何类型的常规避孕药，包括contraceptive pill。
However, it may reduce the effectiveness of one type ofemergency contraceptioncalled Ellaone (ulipristal) if taken together.
It may be better to avoid taking Gaviscon a few hours before and after taking Ellaone, or use a different emergency contraceptive instead.
我可以开车或骑自行车吗？
是的，服用Gaviscon不应影响您驾驶或骑自行车的能力。
Can I drink alcohol with it?
Alcohol does not affect the way Gaviscon works, but drinking alcohol makes your stomach produce more acid than normal. This can irritate your stomach lining and make your symptoms worse.
Can lifestyle changes help heartburn and indigestion?
如果您遇到过多的胃酸引起的问题，对饮食和生活方式进行一些更改可能会有所帮助。
It can help if you:
- 如果需要，请保持健康的体重或减肥 - 额外的体重会给您的胃施加压力，使胃酸反流更糟
- 不要吃可以使您的症状更糟的食物，包括丰富，辛辣和脂肪食品以及酸性食品，例如西红柿，柑橘类水果，沙拉酱和碳酸饮料
- cut down on caffeinated drinks, such as tea, coffee and cola, as well as alcohol and smoking
- try not to eat for at least 3 hours before you go to bed
- raise the head of your bed a little
