Available Acid Reflux Treatments
EverydayMeds offers a comprehensive range of acid reflux medications to suit different needs and symptoms. Omeprazole 20mg capsules are our most prescribed proton pump inhibitor (PPI), effectively reducing stomach acid production for up to 24 hours. For those requiring branded options, we also provide Losec MUPS 20mg tablets, which offer the same active ingredient in a convenient dispersible format.
Alternative treatment options include Lansoprazole 15mg capsules, which may be suitable for those who haven't responded well to omeprazole, and Pantoprazole 20mg tablets for longer-term management. For severe symptoms, Esomeprazole tablets provide enhanced acid suppression, while Famotidine tablets offer an H2 blocker alternative for those who cannot tolerate PPIs.
Understanding Acid Reflux and GORD
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, and chest discomfort. When these symptoms occur regularly, the condition is known as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). Common triggers include spicy foods, alcohol, caffeine, and lying down after eating. Without proper treatment, persistent acid reflux can lead to complications including oesophageal inflammation and Barrett's oesophagus.
How Prescription Treatments Work
Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole work by blocking the enzyme responsible for acid production in the stomach. This significantly reduces acid levels, allowing the oesophagus to heal and preventing further irritation. Most patients experience symptom relief within 2-3 days, with maximum effectiveness typically achieved after 4-5 days of consistent use. Treatment duration varies depending on symptom severity and individual response.
Starting Your Treatment Journey
Begin your treatment by completing our detailed online questionnaire, covering your symptoms, triggers, current medications, and medical history. Our pharmacists will carefully review your submission and may recommend starting with Omeprazole 20mg, taken once daily before breakfast. If approved, your medication will be dispensed from our registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address. Follow-up consultations ensure your treatment remains effective and appropriate for your needs.
