"Sometimes, I take 1 tablet at bedtime (I don't take other medications at bedtime, so it does not interfere). It calms my stomach. I don't take it every night. I never know when I am going to have GERD, so I don't want to take the Gaviscon consistently."

For GERD "This is the best antacid for keeping acid reflux under control. The alginic acid forms a barrier to stomach acid. I do have concerns about taking anything with aluminum."

For Indigestion "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."
