Acid Reflux

Acid reflux happens when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing a burning sensation in the chest known as heartburn. It occurs when the muscle that separates the stomach from the oesophagus doesn’t close properly, allowing acid to escape. Symptoms include chest discomfort, a sour taste, or difficulty swallowing. Factors like being overweight, eating large or spicy meals, and lying down after eating can worsen symptoms. Making lifestyle changes such as eating smaller meals, avoiding trigger foods, and elevating the head while sleeping can help. Persistent acid reflux should be checked by a healthcare professional to prevent complications and ensure proper treatment.

The most effective acid reflux treatment includes Omeprazole and Lansoprazole. These medications help reduce stomach acid, relieving heartburn and indigestion. A prescriber can recommend the most suitable option based on symptoms and medical history.

Lower doses of Omeprazole are available without a prescription, but stronger doses require prescriber approval. This ensures the medication is safe and appropriate for individual needs, especially for those needing long-term management.

Drinking water, herbal teas, and non-citrus drinks can help ease symptoms. Caffeinated drinks, alcohol, and fizzy beverages may worsen acid reflux and should be avoided where possible. Choosing the right fluids can support treatment and reduce irritation.

Certain medications, including antacids, blood thinners, and some antibiotics, may interfere with treatment. A prescriber will check for any potential interactions before approving a prescription to ensure safe use.
