An expensive combo from a chemist when a little drum of bicarb from a grocer does just the same
The dr gave me a massive bottle of gaviscon and some anti-sickness tablets that i wont be taking

will pick up some bicarb tomorrow. had a massive kitchen cupboard clean out yesterday and chucked everything open which is typical lol, if the bicarb does the job then i would prefer it over the gaviscon.
