Prevent Heartburn & Acid Reflux With Losec

FIND OUT MORE

Do you get heartburn more than once a week and are constantly reaching for an antacid to keep the pain at bay?

If so, it’s time you looked at Losec.

Unlike antacids, Losec targets the problem at its source, reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces. Losec may be able to provide long-lasting effective relief for heartburn or GORD (Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease), for up to 3 months at a time.1,2

GORD (commonly known as GERD in the U.S.) happens when stomach acid leaks from your stomach and moves up into your oesophagus (food pipe). This is also known as 'reflux' or 'acid reflux'. Almost everyone gets heartburn due to acid reflux from time to time, but GORD/GERD is when reflux occurs more than twice a week. For those who experience this more than 2 or 3 times a week, we recommend seeing your GP as there may be other issues.
