I took these for two weeks not a sign of improvement so had an over the telephone chat with the Dr, she advise me to take two tablets 40mg and in the mean time she would write me out a prescription which I am now using, but even that’s not working so will be phoning the Dr to see if I can up the dosage, for mild acid reflux it may very well work but for mine unfortunately, it’s a no.

I have to say after months & months of suffering constant heartburn and acid reflux and drinking, what feels like, gallons of Gaviscon, I thought I'd give Guardium a go. After all I had nothing to lose as I was feeling so miserable, although I had little faith that a single pill would do anything at all.I have to be honest that I was shocked that these one a day pills started working right away. I have taken one pill every lunchtime for the last 10 days and have absolutely no heartburn or acid reflux since I took the first pill.These pills have been a real life changer and really improved my total quality of life. Highly recommended for people with constant heartburn and / or acid reflux.

A proton pump inhibitor in a lower dose than you would be prescribed by a doctor.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing. As you want to produce as much stomach acid as you possibly can, without it causing you discomfort.

The packet states, that it may take 2-3 days of taking these before you will feel the benefit.
I must say, I feel the benefit immediately.
I take one, 30 minutes before my main meal, if I think that meal is going to give me trouble later (curry for instance).
For me. It means I only take them when I know I'll need them.
You may be different, especially if your acid reflux is so bad, that you need constant help.
Though if that Is the case, you really should see your doctor, as constant oesophagal acid can lead to serious problems.
Likewise, if you need more than one a day, you really must see your doctor (A prescription will work out a lot cheaper too).

Overall, for occasional acid reflux I would wholeheartedly recommend these. They really do help.

I hope you found this review helpful.

I nearly didn’t buy this as some of the reviews were not great. Am I glad I did! I have had agonising acid reflux for days and nothing was helping so out of desperation I bought guardium. I am not kidding when I say that the horrendous burning disappeared within one hour. I am gobsmacked at how quickly it worked and over the moon too as I can’t get a Drs appt until after Christmas to get the meds I usually get for it. I can now enjoy Christmas with no heartburn PHEW!!!!

I occasionally have problems with acid and have previously used Ranitidine, but unfortunately that's now been withdrawn. I have tried other tablets supposed to calm the acid, such as Nexium Control and Omiprazole and several other supposed rememdies, but none of them worked. After only 1 Guardium tablet, I had a full night's sleep - no acid reflux at all - absolutely brilliant, I can't recommend them highly enough. I took them for two weeks then stopped taking them - the acid reflux has not come back. Brilliant !!

Note: I am not a doctor.This product is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) which reduces the secretion of acid by the stomach, creating a more neutral environment which allows an inflamed stomach lining/ulcers to heal. It effectively gives the stomach a 'break'. I have recently been diagnosed with chronic gastritis (caused by excessive ibuprofen use) and have been taking these for months now. They do temporarily relieve my symptoms (bloating, tightness in chest/stomach, acid reflux/regurgitation, heart burn, malaise, loss of appetite, and dull stomach pains).However, they are grossly overpriced for what they are - nearly £1 per pill! Also, if you are expecting a cure-all you will be disappointed. Chronic gastritis can take months or years to 'cure' and any medicinal treatments should be accompanied by long-term lifestyle changes: changing what you eat, changing how much/when you eat, avoiding specific triggers (alcohol, cigarettes, NSAID painkillers) and trying to reduce your stress levels. If, like me, you need to take NSAID painkillers for another medical condition, I've read that taking a PPI at the same time can protect the stomach lining.

I thought I’d try these Guardium tablets from Gaviscon as their indigestion tablets are good, these tablets are very effective in treating my acid reflux quickly, they are equal to N***** a brand I’ve used for quite a few years but thought I’d try these when on offer and slightly cheaper at the time. They work and so I’m very happy to recommend them. I don’t take them daily but around once to twice a week depending on what I’ve eaten. These acid reflux tablets have honestly given me my old life back pre acid reflux, if you are suffering with terrible acid in your throat I wholeheartedly recommend you try these, they work wonderfully.

Packet states 14 tablets! However upon receipt the box was unsealed and only contains 1 blister pack of 7!

Lifesaver for me while pregnant. Kept the constant nausea at bay. Packet advises to seek medical advice before using while pregnant and after using it for 14 days. Couldn't of survived without them so was very happy when my doctor advised me it was safe to carry on taking them for the duration of my pregnancy

After years of glugging gaviscon straight from the bottle 5 or 6 times a day I decided to give these a go. Wow......one tablet when I get up in the morning and not even a tickle of heartburn,ever. Best thing I ever bought.
