Dyspepsia and Acid Reflux

Dyspepsia & Acid Reflux (GORD) Treatment – Redwood Pharmacy

Dyspepsia, also known as indigestion, and GORD (Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease) are common digestive conditions that affect many people in the UK. They are often caused by stomach acid flowing back into the oesophagus, leading to uncomfortable symptoms such as heartburn, bloating, and acid reflux.

At Redwood Pharmacy, we offer a private consultation and treatment service for dyspepsia and GORD, including effective medications like Omeprazole and Lansoprazole, available without needing to see your GP.

🔍 What Is Dyspepsia / GORD?

GORD is a long-term condition where acid from the stomach leaks up into the oesophagus, often due to a weakened lower oesophageal sphincter. Dyspepsia refers more broadly to indigestion-related symptoms, which can include:

  • Burning sensation in the chest (heartburn)

  • Sour taste in the mouth

  • Upper abdominal discomfort or pain

  • Bloating or belching

  • Nausea after eating

  • Feeling full too quickly during meals

These symptoms can be occasional or chronic, and may worsen after meals, when lying down, or during times of stress.

💊 Treatment Options – Omeprazole & Lansoprazole

At Redwood Pharmacy, we can provide Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs), which are commonly used for the effective relief of dyspepsia and GORD symptoms.

✅ Omeprazole

  • Commonly prescribed PPI

  • Dose: 10 mg to 20 mg once daily

  • Reduces acid production in the stomach

  • Often used for short- or long-term symptom control

✅ Lansoprazole

  • Alternative PPI, equally effective

  • Dose: 15 mg to 30 mg once daily

  • Also used to help heal inflammation (oesophagitis) caused by acid reflux

Our pharmacist will recommend the most suitable option based on your symptoms, medical history, and current medications.

🩺 What to Expect from Your Consultation

  • Quick, private consultation with a trained pharmacist

  • Review of your symptoms and lifestyle factors

  • Assessment of any interactions with your current medications

  • Same-day supply of Omeprazole or Lansoprazole if appropriate

This is a private service. A fee applies for the consultation and any supplied medication.

🌿 Self-Care & Lifestyle Advice for GORD
