Heartburn, indigestion and trapped wind are some of the most common reasons UK households reach for a pharmacy. The Antacid & Heartburn Relief range at RemediMe covers fast and longer-acting options.

What's in this range

Stocked products include Gaviscon Advance Mint chewable tablets, Peptac liquid in peppermint and aniseed (the value-brand alternative to Gaviscon Original), Bisodol indigestion relief tablets, WindSetlers gel caps for trapped wind, and our own-brand PuroSure Sodium Bicarbonate 500mg capsules.

Choosing the right product

For quick relief of mild indigestion or wind after a meal, a chewable tablet or simeticone capsule like WindSetlers works within minutes. For acid reflux and heartburn — especially the kind that flares when lying down — an alginate raft liquid like Gaviscon Advance or Peptac creates a physical barrier on top of stomach contents. Sodium bicarbonate is a traditional fast-acting acid neutraliser useful for occasional flare-ups.

If heartburn is frequent (more than twice a week) or symptoms persist beyond a few weeks, see a pharmacist or GP — it may need investigation rather than ongoing self-treatment.
