Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) |
Acid Reducers (H2s)Acid reducers provide relief for 6-12 hours by inhibiting histamine—a substance that stimulates secretion of stomach acid—to partially block production of acid in the stomach cells. Taken an hour before a meal, histamine H2-receptor antagonists (H2 blockers) work to relieve and prevent heartburn associated with meal-induced acid indigestion. |
AntacidsAntacids provide quick but temporary relief by neutralizing stomach acid to relieve heartburn. They work quickly to help occasional short-term heartburn pain resulting from spicy foods or over-eating. |

Common heartburn triggersHeartburn is a painful, burning sensation in the lower chest or throat that occurs when stomach acid backs up and irritates the sensitive lining of the esophagus. Food that is acidic, spicy, rich and fatty, as well as caffeinated beverages, alcohol and dairy products can trigger frequent heartburn episodes. |
Long-lasting, 24-hour reliefHeartburn can be a painful distraction when you need to focus. One capsule per day provides 24 hour relief of heartburn symptoms.* *Use as directed for 14 days for treating frequent heartburn. Not intended for immediate relief of heartburn; this drug may take 1 to 4 days for full effect. |
