Frequent Heartburn
What Is Frequent Heartburn?
Heartburn is caused by acid reflux, which is when acid flows up into your esophagus. If you experience heartburn two or more days a week, you have frequent heartburn. And you’re not alone — more than 50 million Americans suffer from frequent heartburn.
Prilosec OTC is specifically indicated to treat frequent heartburn. It is a proactive treatment, unlike most reactive heartburn treatments. Find out the difference between proactive vs. reactive treatments.
