Aluminum hydroxide / magnesium trisilicate "I'm never having these again! I'm going to stick with the liquid. When I chewed the tablets, they stuck to my teeth all over, and some teeth became sensitive. It was hard to brush the pieces off. I didn't like the sensation either, it nearly made me wretch."

"I took two 5 ml spoonfuls of Gaviscon Double Action Mint, and 3 hours later I suffered severe tingling down my entire right side, which includes my head, neck, arm, hand, body, leg, and foot. Six days later, I am still disabled with this injury and unable to walk properly or hold anything in my right hand. I regret ever purchasing this, and surely other people must have suffered the same debilitating severe adverse reaction."

"Due to silent GERD (that I didn't know I had), I could not take any anti-inflammatory medicine. They would give me fairly serious breathing problems. However, when I found out what caused my breathing issues, I began taking 1 - 2 Gaviscon tablets 5 minutes after taking an anti-inflammatory. I stopped the breathing problem! I can now take anti-inflammatories! It works by putting a foam cap on stomach acid so that the acid won't bubble up and irritate my lungs. A great product!"
