Available Acid Reflux Treatments
We offer a range of prescription medications for acid reflux management. Omeprazole 20mg capsules are our most frequently prescribed treatment, effectively reducing stomach acid production. Other options include Losec MUPS 20mg tablets, lansoprazole 15mg capsules, and pantoprazole 20mg tablets. For those who may not suit proton pump inhibitors, we also provide famotidine tablets as an H2 blocker alternative.
Understanding Omeprazole Uses
Omeprazole belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It works by blocking the enzyme system responsible for acid production in your stomach. This medication may help treat various conditions including gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), heartburn, stomach ulcers, and can help prevent ulcers caused by certain pain medications.
Treatment Duration and Dosing
The typical starting dose for acid reflux is omeprazole 20mg once daily, usually taken before breakfast. Treatment duration varies depending on your condition - short courses of 2-4 weeks may be suitable for mild symptoms, whilst GORD often requires 4-8 weeks of treatment. Some patients may need longer-term maintenance therapy as determined by their healthcare provider.
Your Treatment Journey
After completing your consultation, our pharmacists will review your information within 24 hours. If approved, your medication will be dispatched from our UK pharmacy with tracking provided. We offer next-day delivery options and all packages arrive in discreet, unmarked packaging. Follow-up consultations are available to monitor your progress and adjust treatment if needed.
Important Safety Information
Whilst omeprazole is generally well-tolerated, it's important to take it exactly as prescribed. Common side effects may include headache, stomach pain, or nausea. Long-term use should be monitored by healthcare professionals. Always inform our pharmacists about other medications you're taking, as omeprazole can interact with certain drugs including warfarin and some antifungal medications.
