Heart Burn

Reglan containing the active ingredient metoclopramide is considered an antiemetic and gastroprokinetic type of medication. It works by increasing muscle contractions in the upper digestive tract to speed up the movement of food through the stomach and intestines. The medication can be used to treat conditions such as persistent heartburn and esophagus ulcers caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Some patients diagnosed with diabetes may also use it to relieve symptoms caused by slow stomach emptying such as nausea, vomiting and stomach fullness.

Omez containing the active ingredient omeprazole is considered a proton pump inhibitors (PPI) type of medication. The main function of the medicine is to decrease the production of acid in the stomach. It can be used to treat a condition where backward flow of excess acid from the stomach causes heartburn and possible injury of the esophagus called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Decreasing the amount of acid produced can also promote faster healing of ulcers, erosive esophagitis and treat other conditions such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Solox works by limiting the amount of acid produced in the stomach to prevent conditions such as stomach and intestinal ulcers or assist in the healing process. It can also be used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), preventing backwards flow of the acid from the stomach to prevent heartburn and injury to the esophagus.

Metamide works by increasing muscle contractions in the upper digestive tract to speed the movement of food through the stomach and intestines. It is a short term relief (4 to 12 weeks) to treat heartburn and speed up the healing process of ulcers and sores in the esophagus in patients suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Patients diagnosed with diabetes may also use the tablets to treat poor emptying of their stomachs (gastroparesis).
