Treatment options available

Options include short-term antacids and alginate products for quick relief, and acid-reducing medicines such as PPIs when suitable. A typical prescribed course can be four to eight weeks, based on symptoms. Source: NHS heartburn guidance; NICE CG184.

Who this service suits

It suits you if you have frequent heartburn, sour taste, or reflux that affects sleep or meals. You need an urgent assessment for trouble swallowing, vomiting blood, black stools, or unexplained weight loss. Source: NHS heartburn guidance; NICE CG184.

How the process works

You complete an online questionnaire about symptoms, triggers, medicines, and health conditions. A clinician reviews your answers for red flags and interactions. You receive advice and, when suitable, treatment with clear use instructions. Source: NHS heartburn guidance; NHS omeprazole information.

Safety and clinician review

Reflux symptoms can look like other problems. Your review checks for warning signs and safe medicine choices, including how long to use the treatment. You also get guidance on when symptoms need urgent in-person care. Source: NHS heartburn guidance; NICE CG184.

Use medicines the safe way

If you buy a PPI, do not use it for longer than two weeks without medical advice. Long-term use may need review, since risks can include low magnesium and fractures in some people. Source: NHS omeprazole information; UK medicines safety updates.

Practical tips that reduce reflux

Eat smaller meals and avoid lying down after eating. Raise your head and shoulders in bed if night symptoms are common. Cut down on alcohol, coffee, and smoking. Losing weight can reduce pressure on the stomach. Source: NHS indigestion and reflux advice.
