Heartburn happens when acid escapes from your stomach up into your esophagus. Your lower esophageal sphincter is supposed to prevent that. But sometimes it relaxes or doesn't close properly and the acid escapes. There are 3 main types of heartburn relief available over the counter. Some may only be fast. Some may only be long-lasting. But with PEPCID
products, you don't have to compromise.
Antacids like TUMS
neutralize the acid in your stomach, yet
don’t stop your stomach from making more.
PEPCID COMPLETE works by blocking some
of the signals that tell your stomach to produce acid,
and includes an antacid that starts to neutralize in seconds.
PPIs like Prilosec OTC work by shutting down
pumps that release acid into your stomach. PPIs
are not intended for immediate relief of heartburn.
Check all that apply.
