Antacids & Digestive Aids

Digestive discomfort — acidity, bloating, gas, heartburn — is extremely common and affects quality of life. A range of medicines from quick-acting antacids to longer-term acid reducers can provide effective relief.

Antacids (Gelusil, Digene, Eno) neutralize stomach acid within minutes and provide quick relief. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like omeprazole and pantoprazole reduce acid production for 24 hours and are used for GERD and ulcers.

Probiotics restore healthy gut bacteria and support digestion, especially after antibiotic courses. Digestive enzyme supplements help break down food more efficiently, reducing bloating and discomfort after meals.
