What is heartburn and Acid Reflux?
When acid from your stomach travels up into your oesophagus, it can cause a burning sensation in the chest. The burning feeling in your chest is caused by stomach acid traveling up towards the throat (acid reflux).
Heartburn is a burning feeling in the chest caused by stomach acid traveling up towards your throat (acid reflux). If it keeps happening, then you might have gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.
Benefits of Pyrocalm Control 20mg Tablets
Treat Indigestion: This medicine contains the active substance omeprazole 20mg. It belongs to a group of medicines called ‘proton pump inhibitors. It works by reducing the amount of acid that your stomach produces. The tablets are used in adults for the short-term treatment of reflux symptoms (for example, heartburn, and acid regurgitation).
Heartburn Treatment: Delayed-release heartburn medicine, clinically proven to treat frequent heartburn, that painful, burning sensation in the lower chest or throat that occurs when stomach acid backs up.
Acid Reducer: When taken as directed, reduce heartburn by deactivating acid-producing pumps in the stomach lining to inhibit acid production at the source.
Recommendations: It is recommended that you should take your tablets in the morning. You can take your tablets with food or on an empty stomach. Always take this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you.
Pyrocalm Control is not meant to bring immediate relief. It might be necessary to take the tablets for 2-3 consecutive days to achieve improvement of symptoms.
