Getting treatment for acid reflux through EverydayMeds is straightforward and professional. Our online consultation process allows you to access prescription treatments without visiting your GP.

Professional Assessment Process
Our qualified UK pharmacists will review your consultation within hours. They assess whether treatment is suitable for you and determine the most appropriate medication. For acid reflux, this typically includes proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like Omeprazole 20mg capsules, which reduce stomach acid production effectively.
Available Acid Reflux Treatments
EverydayMeds stocks a comprehensive range of acid reflux medications. Omeprazole 20mg capsules are our most prescribed treatment, providing effective relief for heartburn and acid reflux symptoms. We also offer Losec MUPS 20mg (branded omeprazole), Lansoprazole 15mg capsules for those requiring alternative PPIs, and Pantoprazole 20mg tablets. For patients who cannot tolerate PPIs, Famotidine tablets provide an H2 blocker alternative.
Understanding Acid Reflux
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, and chest discomfort. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is diagnosed when acid reflux happens frequently. Common triggers include spicy foods, caffeine, alcohol, and lying down after eating. Lifestyle factors such as obesity, smoking, and stress can worsen symptoms.
How PPIs Work
Proton pump inhibitors 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 one week of treatment.
Treatment Duration and Monitoring
Initial treatment courses usually last 4-8 weeks, depending on symptom severity. Many patients experience complete relief during this period. Our pharmacists provide ongoing support and can arrange follow-up consultations to monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed. Some patients may require longer-term therapy for chronic GERD management.

All treatments are dispensed from our UK-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly in plain packaging. We offer next-day delivery across the UK, ensuring you receive your medication quickly.
