Below you will find various options for heartburn treatment and GERD/acid reflux treatment for short-term relief to 24-hour acid control :
A. Drug Medication.
These acid reflux medications for children include antacids and acid reducers such as:
- Antacids . Antacids neutralize the acid in your stomach and provide prompt heartburn treatment and heartburn relief.
- Maalox.
- Mylanta.
B. Histamine-2 receptor antagonists
H2 blockers block stomach acid production and provide acid reflux treatment and relief of heartburn symptoms. However, they do not block acid as completely as proton pump inhibitors.
D. Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI).
Proton pump inhibitors are highly effective treatments and are used for long-term GERD or acid reflux treatment. Proton pump inhibitors control stomach acid and provide heartburn relief.
- Axid oral. Nizatidine is used to treat ulcers of the stomach and intestines and prevent them from coming back after they have healed. This medication is also used to treat certain stomach and throat (esophagus) problems caused by too much stomach acid (e.g., erosive esophagitis) or a backward flow of stomach acid into the esophagus (acid reflux disease/GERD).
- Carafate oral. This medication is used to treat and prevent ulcers in the intestines. Sucralfate forms a coating over ulcers, protecting the area from further injury. This helps ulcers heal more quickly.
- Pepcid oral. Famotidine is used to treat ulcers of the stomach and intestines. It may be used to prevent intestinal ulcers from returning after treatment. This medication is also used to treat certain stomach and throat problems caused by too much stomach acid (e.g., Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, erosive esophagitis) or a backward flow of stomach acid into the esophagus (GERD).
- Reglan oral. This medication is used to treat certain conditions of the stomach and intestines. Metoclopramide is used as a short-term treatment (4 to 12 weeks) for persistent heartburn when the usual medicines do not work well enough.
- Tagamet oral. Cimetidine is used to treat ulcers of the stomach and intestines and prevent them from coming back after they have healed. This medication is also used to treat certain stomach and throat (esophagus) problems caused by too much stomach acid (e.g., Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, erosive esophagitis) or a backward flow of stomach acid into the esophagus (acid reflux disease/GERD).
- Zantac oral. Ranitidine is used to treat ulcers of the stomach and intestines and prevent them from returning after treatment. This medication is also used to treat and prevent certain stomach and throat (esophagus) problems caused by too much stomach acid (e.g., Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, erosive esophagitis) or a backward flow of stomach acid into the esophagus (gastroesophageal reflux disease-GERD).
H2 blockers block stomach acid production and provide acid reflux treatment and relief of heartburn symptoms. However, they do not block acid as completely as proton pump inhibitors.
D. Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI).
Proton pump inhibitors are highly effective treatments and are used for long-term GERD or acid reflux treatment. Proton pump inhibitors control stomach acid and provide heartburn relief.
- ZEGERID. Providing rapid release of the active ingredients and up to 24-hour acid control and heartburn relief.
- Aciphex oral. Rabeprazole works by blocking acid production in the stomach. This medication is known as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It is used to treat acid-related stomach/intestinal and throat (esophagus) problems (e.g., acid reflux or GERD, ulcers, erosive esophagitis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome).
- Nexium oral. Esomeprazole works by blocking acid production in the stomach. This medication is known as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It is used to treat acid-related stomach and throat (esophagus) problems (e.g., acid reflux or GERD, erosive esophagitis).
- Prilosec oral. Omeprazole works by blocking acid production in the stomach. This medication is known as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It is used to treat acid-related stomach and throat (esophagus) problems (e.g., acid reflux or GERD, ulcers, erosive esophagitis, or Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome). Decreasing excess stomach acid can help relieve symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, persistent cough, and trouble sleeping.
- Prevacid oral. Lansoprazole works by blocking acid production in the stomach. This medication is known as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It is used to treat acid-related stomach and throat (esophagus) problems (e.g., acid reflux or GERD, ulcers, erosive esophagitis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome).
- Protonix oral. Pantoprazole works by blocking acid production in the stomach. This medication is known as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It is used to treat acid-related stomach and throat (esophagus) problems (e.g., acid reflux or GERD, erosive esophagitis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome).
