There is no maximum dose on bottle (I've checked!!!) - I even carry a small bottle in my bag - was swigging from bottle on saturday morning!!
If you are using loads make sure you get it on repeat prescription from the GP so that it is free!

Got midwife appointment at 1pm so will look into getting it on prescription and stock up!
thanks lisa!

But peppermint tea, or peppermint anything I think, is supposed to be good for heartburn if you're worried about taking too much gaviscon. S x
