Available Acid Reflux Treatments
EverydayMeds offers a comprehensive range of proven acid reflux medications through our online service. Omeprazole 20mg capsules are our most frequently prescribed treatment, a highly effective proton pump inhibitor that reduces stomach acid production. We also provide Losec MUPS 20mg, the branded version of omeprazole, along with alternative options including Lansoprazole 15mg capsules and Pantoprazole 20mg tablets.
For patients requiring different treatment approaches, we offer Esomeprazole tablets and Famotidine tablets, an H2 blocker that works differently from proton pump inhibitors. Our pharmacists will recommend the most suitable option based on your individual symptoms and medical history.
Understanding Acid Reflux and GERD
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn, chest pain, and regurgitation. This happens when the lower oesophageal sphincter, a muscle ring that normally prevents backflow, becomes weakened or relaxed. Common triggers include spicy foods, caffeine, alcohol, smoking, and eating large meals before bedtime.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is diagnosed when acid reflux symptoms occur regularly, typically twice a week or more. Without proper treatment, chronic acid reflux may lead to complications including oesophagitis, Barrett's oesophagus, or strictures. Professional medical assessment ensures you receive appropriate treatment to manage symptoms effectively.
How Acid Reflux Medications Work
Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole and Lansoprazole work by blocking the enzyme responsible for producing stomach acid. This significantly reduces acid levels, allowing the oesophagus to heal and preventing further irritation. These medications are typically taken once daily, preferably in the morning before eating, and may provide relief for 24 hours.
H2 blockers such as Famotidine work by blocking histamine receptors in the stomach that trigger acid production. They act more quickly than proton pump inhibitors but may not provide as long-lasting relief. Your EverydayMeds pharmacist will explain how to take your prescribed medication for optimal effectiveness.
The EverydayMeds Consultation Process
Our secure online consultation begins with detailed questions about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. This information helps our qualified pharmacists assess whether acid reflux treatment is suitable for you. The consultation includes questions about symptom frequency, severity, potential triggers, and any previous treatments you may have tried.
Once you submit your consultation, a UK-registered pharmacist reviews your information thoroughly. If treatment is appropriate, your medication is dispensed and dispatched from our registered pharmacy. We provide tracking information so you can monitor your order's progress, with most deliveries arriving within 1-2 working days across the UK.
