Getting treatment for acid reflux through EverydayMeds is straightforward and confidential.

This information helps our prescribers determine the most suitable treatment approach for your acid reflux condition.
Available Acid Reflux Treatments
EverydayMeds offers several effective treatments for acid reflux, with omeprazole 20mg capsules being the most commonly prescribed option. This proton pump inhibitor (PPI) works by reducing stomach acid production, helping to alleviate heartburn and protect the oesophagus from acid damage. Other available treatments include Losec MUPS 20mg (branded omeprazole), lansoprazole 15mg capsules, and pantoprazole 20mg tablets. For those who cannot tolerate PPIs, we also offer famotidine tablets, an H2 blocker that provides an alternative approach to managing acid reflux symptoms.
Understanding Acid Reflux and GORD
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back up into the oesophagus, causing symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and chest pain. When these symptoms occur frequently, the condition may be diagnosed as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). Common triggers include spicy foods, alcohol, caffeine, and lying down after eating. Without proper treatment, chronic acid reflux can lead to complications including oesophagitis, Barrett's oesophagus, and in rare cases, oesophageal cancer.
How Proton Pump Inhibitors Work
Proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole are considered the gold standard treatment for acid reflux. They work by blocking the enzyme responsible for producing stomach acid, providing significant symptom relief for most patients. Omeprazole is typically taken once daily before breakfast and may provide relief for up to 24 hours. Most people begin to experience symptom improvement within 2-3 days, with maximum effectiveness usually achieved after 4 weeks of treatment.
