{"title":"Heartburn \u0026 Indigestion Relief","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHeartburn is a burning sensation rising from the stomach into the chest or throat, caused by stomach acid travelling back up through the oesophagus. It is one of the most common digestive complaints in Ireland and frequently worsens after large meals, spicy or fatty foods, alcohol, or when lying down. It is also especially common during pregnancy, when the growing uterus puts pressure on the stomach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHeartburn medicines fall into four main types. Antacids such as calcium carbonate work quickly by neutralising excess stomach acid, suiting occasional or after-meal relief. Alginate-based liquids form a protective barrier on top of stomach contents and are commonly chosen for reflux that reaches the throat. H2 blockers like famotidine reduce how much acid the stomach produces and typically take effect within an hour. Proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole offer longer-lasting effect and suit frequent or persistent heartburn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe range at Leahy's Pharmacy includes tablets, liquids, and chewables from established brands. If heartburn occurs more than twice a week, is accompanied by difficulty swallowing, or does not respond to over-the-counter products, a pharmacist or GP consultation is advisable.
