For the millions of Canadians suffering from heartburn, it represents the most significant advance in the treatment of heartburn and acid indigestion since antacids were introduced more than 100 years ago.
Antacids neutralize some stomach acid and provide short term relief.
It can be used to either prevent heartburn or to treat the symptoms of heartburn when they occur. For prevention of symptoms, one tablet is taken one hour before consuming food or beverages expected to cause symptoms. For relief of symptoms, one tablet is taken when the symptoms of heartburn occur. And this one small tablet can control stomach acid production for up to 9 hours. It works directly to suppress stomach production of acid.
