Types of Heartburn Treatments
There are three different over-the-counter medicines that treat heartburn PPIs (Nexium 24HR), H2s, and antacids. Each treats heartburn in a different way.
PPIs
PPIs, like Nexium 24HR, treat heartburn by blocking the production of acid. PPIs may take 1-4 days for full effect, but relief lasts for 24 hours. PPIs are the only FDA-approved medications for over-the-counter treatment of frequent heartburn.
To Avoid Heartburn, Try the Following:
Avoid certain foods that cause symptoms, such as rich, spicy, fatty and fried foods, chocolate, caffeine, carbonated beverages, alcohol, coffee, ketchup and mustard, mints, vinegar, tomato and citrus juices, and other acidic
Get comfy. Belts and tight-fitting clothing may be fashionable, but they also put extra pressure on your stomach. That extra pressure can interfere with your body?s ability to keep acid in your stomach, where it belongs, and not cause heartburn.
H2s
H2s treat heartburn by blocking one of the signals that tell your body to produce acid. They start working within 30 minutes and their effects can last for up to 12 hours. However, if you use H2s for more than a few days in a row, they can become less effective at treating heartburn
Enjoy food in moderation. Check the nutritional labels on the foods you eat to make sure you?re portioning accurately. Smaller, slower and more frequent meals are better than three large meals a day.
Keep tabs on yourself. Achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Track what and how you eat, your physical activity and any medicines you may be taking so you can learn your body?s heartburn triggers and avoid them in the future.
Antacids
Antacids treat heartburn by neutralizing the acid in your stomach. They come in liquid and tablet forms. Antacids work quickly, but last for only 1-3 hours after use.
Be conscious of when you eat, avoid late-night snacks, and raise the head of your bed. Let gravity do its work.
