What is Zegerid OTC?
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
Two Active IngredientsOnly Zegerid OTC features a unique, dual ingredient formula: the leading prescription acid reducing ingredient (omeprazole), plus a second ingredient (sodium bicarbonate) that protects this powerful medicine from acid in the stomach. |
Acid Relief MedicineZegerid OTC contains a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), a medicine specifically indicated to treat frequent heartburn. Just one capsule a day, taken according to directions, offers 24 hour relief from frequent heartburn.* |
Works All DayBelieve it or not, stomach acid is good for you. Why? Because it initiates the important first step in the digestion of food. Too much is not good though, and that’s where Zegerid OTC capsules come in: the 1-dose, 24-hour treatment for frequent heartburn. |
What Causes Heartburn?
|
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
Eating large meals, high fat meals or consuming beverages such as coffee and alcohol can trigger heartburn due to acid reflux. |
Lifestyle elements can also cause frequent heartburn for women and men: smoking, stress, and wearing tight clothes can be indigestion triggers. |
Being overweight or obese sometimes contributes to frequent heartburn. Zegerid OTC can help people with acid reflux due to obesity. |
Exercising on a full stomach and lying down after you eat can contribute to acid reflux. |
How Zegerid OTC Compares
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)Zegerid OTC is a PPI, which works by reducing the amount of acid produced by glands in the lining of the stomach. Plus, Zegerid OTC offers an added advantage: 24-hour relief of frequent heartburn with just 1 dose per day, when taken as directed.* |
H2 BlockersH2 blockers are a type of medicine that blocks the action of histamine from stimulating the production of acid in the stomach. |
AntacidsAntacid tablets neutralize stomach acid on contact and provide temporary relief of heartburn. This can be a great choice for occasional acid reflux symptoms like indigestion, but isn’t the most effective option when it comes to more frequent symptoms of heartburn. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes Zegerid OTC different?
A: Zegerid OTC is the only 24- hour frequent heartburn treatment that contains two active ingredients: the leading prescription acid reducer (omeprazole), plus a second ingredient (sodium bicarbonate) that protects the omeprazole from acid in the stomach – so it can be absorbed by the body.
Q: What is heartburn?
A: Heartburn is a painful, burning sensation in the lower chest, caused by “acid reflux.” Acid from the stomach moves back (or “refluxes”) into the esophagus, often causing heartburn pain.
Q: What are some foods associated with heartburn?
A: Acidic fruits such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, and tomatoes; high-fat or spicy foods; chocolate, alcohol, and coffee.
Q: What factors can increase my risk of experiencing heartburn?
A: There are multiple factors including but not limited to smoking, being overweight, taking certain medications, eating before bedtime and wearing tight-fitting clothing.
Q: Who can take Zegerid OTC?
A: Zegerid OTC is for use by adults 18 and older for the treatment of frequent heartburn (occurs two or more days a week). For more information, see our full product label.
Q: What’s the sodium content in Zegerid OTC?
A: One Zegerid OTC capsule (daily dose) contains 303 mg of sodium. This amount is comparable to the amount of sodium in two slices of white bread (300mg). Ask a doctor before use if you have a sodium-restricted diet.
Q: What’s a PPI?
A: Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs), such as Zegerid OTC, are medicines specifically indicated for treating frequent heartburn. They are highly effective because they block acid production at the source. And PPIs only need to be taken once a day for 14 days.
*Use as directed for 14 days for treating frequent heartburn. Zegerid OTC may take up to 1-4 days for full effect, although some people get complete relief within 24 hours.
