Available Acid Reflux Treatments
EverydayMeds offers a comprehensive range of acid reflux medications to suit different needs and severities. Omeprazole 20mg capsules remain our most prescribed proton pump inhibitor (PPI), effectively reducing stomach acid production for up to 24 hours. For those requiring branded options, Losec MUPS 20mg provides the same active ingredient in a dispersible tablet format.
Alternative PPI treatments include lansoprazole 15mg capsules, pantoprazole 20mg tablets, and esomeprazole tablets. Each works by blocking acid production at the source, providing relief from heartburn, regurgitation, and other reflux symptoms. For patients who may not be suitable for PPIs, famotidine tablets offer an H2 receptor blocker alternative that can effectively reduce acid levels.
Understanding Acid Reflux and GORD
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid escapes into the oesophagus, causing the characteristic burning sensation known as heartburn. When this happens frequently, it may indicate gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), a chronic condition affecting millions of UK adults. Common triggers include certain foods, stress, obesity, and lifestyle factors.
Symptoms typically include heartburn, particularly after meals or when lying down, regurgitation of acid or food, difficulty swallowing, and sometimes a persistent cough or hoarse voice. Left untreated, severe reflux can lead to complications including oesophageal inflammation or damage.
How Proton Pump Inhibitors Work
PPIs like omeprazole work by blocking the enzyme system responsible for acid production in stomach cells. This significantly reduces the amount of acid produced, allowing the oesophagus to heal and preventing further irritation. Most patients notice improvement within 2-3 days, with maximum effect typically achieved after 4-5 days of consistent use.
These medications are generally well-tolerated, though some patients may experience mild side effects such as headache, nausea, or digestive changes. Your EverydayMeds pharmacist will discuss potential side effects and drug interactions during your consultation to ensure safe, appropriate treatment.
