GASTRO
HEALTH
Prilosec is the one of the
most reliable treatments for acid reflux disease. In clinical testing,
93% of patients saw improvement from heartburn. That's far more
effective than popular over-the-counter antacids that provide minimal
relief for less than 50% of the time. Prilosec
falls under the category of prescription drugs called acid pump
inhibitors. Acid pump inhibitors stop the stomach from producing
excess acid by hindering the action of tiny pumps in your stomach.
The lining of your stomach contains millions of cells that pump
digestive acids into the stomach. Prilosec
minimizes acid build up in your stomach and gives you fast 24-hour
relief from heartburn, sour stomach, and nausea. |
