Heartburn Drugs
Heartburn is word that many people dread hearing
about, Most of us experience it occasionally and it is a
condition that can vary in its strength and symptoms.
To make sure that your heartburn does not change into
GERD, which is the more serious version of heartburn,
you will need to consider what medications will help.
There are over the counter heartburn drugs that you
can take, with these ranging from mild to the extra
strength variety. Should you desire you also have a
choice of tablet form or liquid medication.
Then you can always ask your doctor’s advice about
heartburn drugs that are available only from a
prescription. Also what is the most suitable course of
treatment that will fit your lifestyle.
The most common type of heartburn drug is usually
antacids. Antacids should be taken orally and be used
more often than we do at the moment as, and when
they are needed. Many people would like to use liquid
antacids rather than the tablet variety as they are
easier to take and can be more gentle on the body.
You need to be aware that antacids should be chewed
well and be swallowed at least 30 to 60 minutes after
you eat. Antacids are recommended because they
have the chemical ingredients that are needed to
neutralize the high levels of acid buildup in the
stomach that can lead to stomach acids refluxing into
the esophagus and causing heartburn.
These are over the counter antacids like Tagamet,
Pepcid AC, Zantac and even Prilosec. The strongest
types of heartburn drugs that you can buy over the
counter are Maalox II, Mylanta II, Gelusil II and Extra
Strength Riopan.
There are also two Alginic Acid and Antacids tablets
that place a layer of foam over the stomach acidic
juices to prevent reflux. These tablets must be chewed
well and taken at least 30 to 60 minutes after you eat
and before you go to sleep at night. There are
chemicals in Gaviscon and Algicon that floats on the
top of the digested stomach contents, so that when
the stomach acids reflux into the esophagus it is the
first substance to come into contact with the
esophagus. These are excellent heartburn drugs that
reduce the acid levels in the stomach.
Then there is a group of heartburn drugs that control
and treat the symptoms of heartburn. These are acid
reducers or acid blockers. These acid reducers are
part of a class of drugs that are called Histamine
receptor blockers. You can get them as over the
counter or in prescription strengths forms. They work
by reducing the amount of acid that you have in the
stomach. When the use of these acid reducers can no
longer control or treat your heartburn then Proton
Pump Inhibitors or PPI’s might do the trick.
Whatever the type of heartburn drug that you use, the
main point to remember is that it should be sufficient
to provide you relief from your heartburn.
