Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)PPIs are for people with frequent heartburn that occurs two or more days per week. PPIs deactivate the pumps in the stomach lining from producing acid, significantly inhibiting acid production at the source. When taken every four months as a 14-day course treatment, Amazon Basic Care Omeprazole and Sodium Bicarbonate Capsules provide up to 24 hours of relief. |
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. |
