Available Acid Reflux Treatments
EverydayMeds offers a comprehensive range of proven acid reflux medications. Omeprazole 20mg Capsules remain our most prescribed proton pump inhibitor (PPI), effectively reducing stomach acid production for up to 24 hours. We also stock Losec MUPS 20mg, the branded version of omeprazole, alongside Lansoprazole 15mg Capsules for those requiring alternative PPI therapy.
For patients who may not be suitable for PPIs, we offer Pantoprazole 20mg Tablets and Esomeprazole Tablets. Famotidine Tablets provide an H2 receptor blocker alternative, particularly useful for patients experiencing side effects from PPI medications or requiring short-term acid suppression.
Understanding Acid Reflux Symptoms
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing uncomfortable symptoms. Common signs include heartburn, regurgitation of food or sour liquid, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, and a sensation of a lump in your throat. These symptoms often worsen after eating large meals, lying down, or consuming trigger foods like spicy or fatty dishes.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD) represents the chronic form of acid reflux, requiring ongoing management. Left untreated, GORD may lead to complications including oesophageal inflammation, ulcers, or Barrett's oesophagus. Our online consultation helps identify whether your symptoms require prescription treatment.
The Online Assessment Process
Our secure online questionnaire covers your medical history, current medications, and specific acid reflux symptoms. You'll answer questions about symptom frequency, severity, and any previous treatments you've tried. Our pharmacists use this information to determine the most appropriate treatment option for your individual needs.
Once approved, you can choose from various treatment durations and strengths. Omeprazole typically comes in 20mg strength for most patients, though dosing may vary based on symptom severity and treatment response. Our pharmacists provide clear instructions on how to take your medication for optimal effectiveness.
Delivery and Ongoing Support
All medications are dispensed from our UK pharmacy and dispatched in discreet packaging. Free next-day delivery ensures you receive treatment quickly when symptoms are bothersome. Our patient support team remains available for any questions about your treatment or potential side effects.
Many patients find significant relief within 1-3 days of starting PPI therapy, though maximum benefit may take up to two weeks. Regular review consultations help ensure your treatment remains appropriate and effective for managing your acid reflux symptoms long-term.
