Start Your Online Consultation Today
Getting treatment for acid reflux through EverydayMeds begins with our straightforward online consultation process. You'll complete a confidential medical questionnaire about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. This information is reviewed by our UK-registered prescribers who determine the most suitable treatment option for your condition.
Available Acid Reflux Treatments
EverydayMeds offers several proven treatments for acid reflux and GORD. Omeprazole 20mg capsules remain the most commonly prescribed proton pump inhibitor (PPI), effectively reducing stomach acid production for up to 24 hours. Losec MUPS 20mg provides the same active ingredient in a branded formulation that dissolves easily.
Alternative PPI options include Lansoprazole 15mg capsules and Pantoprazole 20mg tablets, which work similarly to reduce acid production. Esomeprazole tablets offer another effective PPI choice, whilst Famotidine tablets provide an H2 blocker alternative for those who may not be suitable for PPI treatment.
Understanding Acid Reflux Symptoms
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing characteristic burning sensations in the chest (heartburn). Common symptoms include regurgitation of food or sour liquid, difficulty swallowing, and the sensation of a lump in your throat. Many people experience symptoms after eating large meals, spicy foods, or when lying down.
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is diagnosed when acid reflux symptoms occur regularly, typically more than twice weekly. Left untreated, persistent acid reflux may lead to complications including oesophageal inflammation, ulcers, or scarring.
How Acid Reflux Treatments Work
Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole work by blocking the enzyme responsible for acid production in stomach cells. This significantly reduces the amount of acid produced, allowing the oesophagus to heal and preventing further irritation. PPIs are typically taken once daily, preferably in the morning before food.
H2 blockers such as Famotidine work differently by blocking histamine receptors that trigger acid production. These treatments may be suitable for people who cannot take PPIs or prefer an alternative approach to managing their symptoms.
