Why, as a pregnant mother, am I suffering from heartburn and indigestion?
It’s very common. In fact up to 80% of expectant mothers get these symptoms at one stage or another. Your growing bump, alongside the hormonal changes happening in your body, make it a common occurrence.

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Customers find these antacid tablets effective, with one noting they work for up to several hours, and they provide quick relief for heartburn and acid reflux. The tablets are pleasant to take, easy to carry around, and offer excellent value for money. While some customers say they're not chalky, others mention the weird chewy texture.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2025Does the job.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 June 2025Excellent but pricey.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 February 2019Whilst I'm at home I would tend to use Peptec, a liquid indigestion remedy similar to Gaviscon advanced, but cheaper. But these small tablets are so very easy to carry around with you and area also so very effective, quickly...!
If you do suffer from acid reflux or indigestion long term then it is best seeing your doctor. I did and saw a Gastroenterologist who did various tests, with scans, cameras and probes monitors fitted in the larynx and oesophagus. For me the diagnosis left is "functional reflux". The point that I'm making is make sure that you get checked out if you need these things long term :)
I do love the size of these , discreet enough like a Rennie but without the chalkie taste whilst sucking them. In my opinion suck rather than chew as the calming effect seems to last longer.
As each of these tablets contain Sodium Alginate that helps to provide a protective barrier on top of the meal you have just eaten, which in turn helps to protect against reflux. That means they are best used when upright to stop the stomach contents from rising through the LOS - lower oesophagus sphincter.
Peptac also contains Sodium Alginate, like Gaviscon Advanced, but is much cheaper than Gaviscon. The aniseed flavour is very palatable. Not sure why they make mint flavour aids for people with reflux, mint not being good for reflux.
So overall I'm very impressed with these tablets and their effectiveness. I have found that there is no one single solution if you have reflux ongoing. Dietary and lifestyle changes, sleeping on a "wedge" (bought from Amazon), sleeping on your left side, addressing anxiety etc all can contribute to helping. But these tablets for me are most useful and I do recommend them.
Also I have found great benefit from using probiotics to improve my gut health, that has improved my reflux a lot.
Delivery and packaging was fine, no issues there.
I hope that this review has helped you, best wishes with your reflux / indigestion issues.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2021Couldn’t do without these while pregnant and would recommend - it’s all I’ve needed with reflux.
These chewable tablets taste nice (if you like minty / toothpaste flavours!) and provide fast relief. I do find however they get stuck in your teeth a lot.
This product was delivered quickly. I prefer the small gaviscon liquid sachets but they’re more expensive.
Heartburn in pregnancy is very common and is both hormonally influenced - relaxing of the lower oesophageal sphincter and due to physical pressure from growing baby causing acid reflux. I find eating regular meals reduces it.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 May 2025Fast acting and taste fine. Always have these in medicine cabinet.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2025Half a tab settles my stomach for the night. They taste fine and are easy to chew.
