Available Acid Reflux Treatments
EverydayMeds offers several proven acid reflux treatments that may be suitable following your consultation. Omeprazole 20mg capsules are amongst the most commonly prescribed proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), working by reducing stomach acid production. Lansoprazole 15mg capsules offer an alternative PPI option, whilst treatments like Pantoprazole 20mg tablets and Esomeprazole provide additional choices for those who may not respond to first-line treatments.
For patients who cannot take PPIs, Famotidine tablets offer an H2 receptor blocker alternative. Our prescribers will consider your individual circumstances, including any contraindications or drug interactions, to recommend the most suitable treatment option.
Understanding Acid Reflux and GORD
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid travels back up into the oesophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn, chest pain, and an unpleasant taste in the mouth. Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is diagnosed when these symptoms occur regularly, typically more than twice weekly, or when complications develop.
Common triggers include spicy foods, citrus fruits, chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, and large meals. Lifestyle factors such as being overweight, smoking, or lying down soon after eating can also contribute to symptoms. Our prescribers may discuss lifestyle modifications alongside medication recommendations during your consultation.
What to Expect from Treatment
Most people find that PPI treatments like Omeprazole begin working within 1-3 days, though full symptom relief may take up to 4 weeks of regular use. These medications are typically taken once daily before breakfast, allowing them to work effectively throughout the day when acid production is highest.
H2 blockers like Famotidine may work more quickly for immediate symptom relief but are generally less effective for severe or persistent acid reflux. Your prescriber will explain how to take your prescribed medication and what improvements you should expect.
