Cheapest place to get Gaviscon?

KittyKate

Hi all, my OH gets terrible heartburn/acid reflux and whenever he does he nips to Superdrug or Boots - who charge up to £3 for 6 tablets :eek:

Does anyone know of a cheap (and verified) online chemist where we can bulk buy say 50 - 75? Cheers

I don't know if my suggestion will be of any help but I know Gaviscon is available on prescription and it comes in huge bottles. Could it be worth buying one of those annual prescription cards, it may work out cheaper .

Alternatively has your OH worked out what could be causing the heartburn? Maybe it's spicy foods, read meat etc, etc. Suggest to him to keep a food diary to see if anything in particular triggers it. I did this when I suffered from IBS. I know IBS is different, but keeping the food diary helped my suss out some things that I shouldn't have been eating.

Hope you manage to sort something out
