###What symptoms or conditions can be treated with Guardium Acid Reflux Control 20 mg gastro-resistant tablets?
Guardium Acid Reflux Control 20 mg gastro-resistant tablets are used in adults for the short-term treatment of reflux symptoms, such as heartburn and acid regurgitation. Reflux occurs when acid from the stomach flows back into the gullet, which can cause inflammation and pain. It may result in symptoms like a painful sensation in the chest that rises up to the throat (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth (acid regurgitation).
###What is the active ingredient and how does it work?
The active ingredient in Guardium Acid Reflux Control 20 mg gastro-resistant tablets is esomeprazole, which is a proton pump inhibitor that reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach. Esomeprazole binds to the enzymes in the stomach that produce acid, thereby reducing the amount of acid that is produced. This medicine is used for the short-term treatment of reflux symptoms in adults, such as heartburn and acid regurgitation caused by the backflow of acid from the stomach into the gullet, which may become inflamed and painful. This medicine is not meant to bring immediate relief and may take 2-3 days to start working.
###What is Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)?
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a condition where stomach acid flows back into the tube connecting the mouth and stomach, also known as the oesophagus. This backwash, also known as acid reflux, can irritate the lining of the oesophagus. Although many people experience acid reflux occasionally, repeated acid reflux can lead to GERD.
###What are some common symptoms of GERD?
GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, can present with a range of symptoms. The most common include a burning sensation in the chest after eating, which may be worse at night or when lying down, backwash of food or sour liquid, upper abdominal or chest pain, trouble swallowing, and a sensation of a lump in the throat. Nighttime acid reflux can also cause an ongoing cough, inflammation of the vocal cords (laryngitis), and new or worsening asthma. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical advice to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
